This Flames team has a ton of talent. It's just all about finding the right mix. That's why it's important to remember that there's always next year. Maybe this summer they go out and sign a couple cheap vet top-9 forwards with playoff pedigree and it totally changes the dynamic of the team.
As Phil Horace said in Tom Hanks' That Thing You Do!, "A good [team] is like a stew. All the pieces have to come together just right... otherwise, it's just soup."
I'd like to see the Flames go after some versatile utility guys with playoff experience in UFA. Avoid the real expensive guys unless Duchene is interested. They should pursue the Hagelins and Brassards of the market who will probably go for 1-2 years at about $1.5-2 million a season. Just try to give the lineup more looks and more experience without breaking the bank.
