C depth is woefully shallow if the Flames have to salvage the current window of competing in the next two years while trying to convince Johnny and Chucky to stay.

Maybe I'm being alarmist but I can't see anyone being happy with the developments around Backlund and Monahan.
I can't say I've watched Zary, but his AHL numbers are really underwhelming this year. Hopefully he does the little things better than anyone, because offensively, I don't think he is anywhere near NHL ready.
