I think making a major trade in order to go for the SC carries a number of high risks:
1. upsetting the chemistry by acquiring a player that doesn't fit in.
2. putting the cap situation out of whack.
3. sacrificing the future by trading our prospects or picks.
I'm saying this because I think we presently have everything in place that almost guarantees that we will have a good team for a long period of time if we continue on our present path. I think this is particularly important for the Flames, as we are going to need to fill the stands for the next number of years in order to finance a new stadium.
