The elite superstar(s) are needed. They need to pick at the top of the draft, or they'll wander in mediocrity forever. Drafting at the top isn't the only thing you need to do (see: Oilers), but it is the foundational piece.

Right, but how long until these picks are ready to become elite, dominant superstars who can take on the prime McDavid’s, the Draisaitl’s, the Pettersson’s and the Hughes. Could take them a few years minimum at least. By then, this team might not have the horses to compete.
Treliving has spent and spent to make this current iteration of the Flames, a win now team. Whether he’s done a good enough job is up for debate. But there’s no doubt in my mind this team is ready to compete now, so they should look into NHL ready players, not futures IMO.
