The Flames need to realize they’re a mediocre, playoff-bubble team. And they need to retool/rebuild.
They don’t have a goaltender of the future who is anywhere close to the NHL (the current goaltender of the future has another year of junior).
They don’t have a #1 centre that drives play forward.
They don’t have a Quinn Hughes, Cale Makar, Miro Heiskanen type on the blue line (apologies to Valimaki if he turns into that).
They need those pieces. However deep the retool/rebuild needs to go to get those pieces, that’s how deep the retool/rebuild needs to go.

But honestly, does that not describe half or more of the league right now?
