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.

Tre is part of the core group in my mind.
If they don't win a cup this year, I would start fresh with the entire management team, trade major pieces at the draft purely for picks, go into next season knowing the team might be Detroit levels of bad and initiate a proper rebuild that doesn't have the flames trading away an entire.drafts worth of picks by year 3.
When you look at what the Kings and Ottawa have done this year, who would eager the flames will reach the conference final before either of them?
Look at the rangers just 3 years ago.
So let them have their last hurrah, and if they put everything together, wonderful, but you don't compete in this league with a 'retool'. The Lindholm trade WAS the retool.
