I just don't see enough top end talent on the Flames for them to be a real top team. Last year was the peak, and if you keep with this group, it will be the Brent Sutter years all over again. I'll die on this hill....Can Treliving see this now, and alter the course to reset things...or does he make a last hurrah to try and keep adding to a core that is more in the 8-16 range than in the top 5 in terms of league talent? If he can add and be successful that will be pretty impressive. I'd pull the plug and start over myself....

Maybe you can trade Gaudreau for Konecny...but in time does it make the Flames any better than what they've been...or does it keep them the same team that hasn't been good enough but with different bodies. I think the latter in this case. I'd be completely fine with a 3 year tear down to get every asset possiblee and come out of the ashes.
