I agree with some of the sentiment above, but the flames haven't had an 'ideal' roster since the 80s.
Even last year they had significant holes in the lineup that were badly exposed in the playoffs. They did nothing to address them at all during the off-season, and age related decline has made those holes even worse.
A significant portion of this board wants to fool themselves every year into thinking the on paper roster is any better than 10th-15th in the league. Either they are wrong basically every year, or the flames are the single unluckiest franchise in league history.
I know what's likelier.
It's rebuild time again, folks.
