If we are not going to rebuild, which looks like we aren't, then go for it I guess.

I'm presuming the Flames are only bringing in Eichel if at least one of Gaudreau and Tkachuk are here long term. With Sutter behind the bench, and a top six that includes Lindholm, Eichel, and Gaudreau/Tkachuk, I just cannot see the Flames finishing bottom 10. Will they become elite and escape the middling of the last almost 20 years...who knows, but I don't see how Sutter would allow the team to finish bottom 10.
