They don't really have an elite #1 goalie either, and likely don't have one in the pipeline.
They will need to build a really deep and well balanced line up in order to have a legit cup contender, but that will be hard to do when they waste so much cap on Treliving's misses all the time, and with core wingers being due for big raises coming up.
Yes, they should tear it down but they wont.
Our only hope to get an elite C is to trade for Eichel and hope his neck holds up.
D will have to be built by committee, unless something falls out of the sky.
Need Markstrom to hold up as a strong #1 into his mid 30's.
Really seems like a long shot to me.
They should really be able to kick start a rebuild off properly by dealing Tkachuk, Monahan and Gaudreau though, before it's too late. Lindholm would also bring a haul, and then it'd be several years of pain again.
But it's be pretty pain all the time anyways.

Pretty well bang on. They won't even get rid of Giordano so the chance of trading the younger core players is almost zero. Something is wrong with the decision making process in Calgary. The ####ing owners should be embarrassed how pathetic the record has been over the years when u see what Tampa and Vegas have done in much less time.
