I find this disappointing, because it just feels like the Flames aren't taking that next step to make themselves true contenders. We've barely missed out on Kadri and Stone now. Last year St. Louis made a splash to get Ryan O'Reilly, which is the kind of move the Flames need to make. The Flames right now have too many defenders, and teams are paying a premium for defence right now. Yet the Flames can't seem to land that last major forward peice they need.
