Rebuild. The flames have complimentary pieces, but any team that doesn’t have a number one center, number one defenceman, or number one goalie...that is a really difficult starting point to retool.
I firmly believe you build through the draft and add via free agency to push the team to the next level. Tough to do that without higher draft picks. Drafting ~15th overall year after year just spins the wheel of mediocrity.
