Coaching is also hugely important to team defence, and the goalie is a massive part as well - further making our continued over-spend on defenseman from an asset and salary perspective stupid.
1 - Improve the coaching of this team
2 - Improve the centre position
3 - Improve the goalie position
Everything else is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. The team is poorly structured, and if they actually want to win a cup at any point in the future - they have to actually look at what truly successful teams do and notice the strengths that they all share.
We aren't even a "somewhat" successful team, yet they keep doing the same stupid crap of over-spending on defence while underspending on centres, coaches, and goalies.

I think the goalie drafting and development team needs revamped. No G seem to develop on the Flames. We have had so many promising goalies and every single one seems to flounder or flatline once they get into the Flames system. McDonald, Rittich to an extent, Parsons, Gillies it makes one wonder if they might actually turn into number 1 goalies in Nashville or someone else's system. Has to be something wrong when they have only had two decent goalies in 30 yrs and one of them was traded for.
