The flames are likelier to make the dance than they are to miss so I don't mind attempting to bolster the team between now and then. In many ways, they have already set this course in the last offseason with their signings and lack of moves, so what's another couple of picks at this point?
This is basically it though in my mind. This is the last kick at the can with this group. All you have to do is look around the league at who is rebuilding and who is treading water to understand what group this franchise NEEDS to be in if this season ends up without a cup.

According to sportsclubstats the win vs Detroit move us up 8 points to 44.6% chance of playoffs. And winning the cup, for this squad, is extremely unlikely.
I agree that this should be the last kick at the can for this group as it stands. I think we are going to need big changes this summer. On that note, it will be this summer that shows us whether we have a competent gm or not.
