We need a GM who is not afraid to make trades to improve the team, hanging onto the same pieces with the same results over and over has us regressing. Maddening!

I'd be for a Jack Eichel depending on what has to be given up. I wouldn't demolish the roster to add Jack though, otherwise the Flames would just end up as Buffalo East. But there's no doubt in my mind the Flames need 2 reliable scoring lines to win those tight games which they've failed to do so often this season, simply due to lack of scoring. Right now it's "please score every game top line" or "Markstrom needs to be perfect." Absolutely unsustainable way to win.
Personally, I think Treliving is very brave when it comes to trades and he's always looking to "improve" the team. But I feel like he's come out swinging in a lot of trades attempts and has missed. Probably a good thing he whiffed on the Jason Zucker deal though because that would not have aged well.
