The one thing we shouldn't do is trade assets for depth players. Any other direction is okay with me.

At this point we should either be big game hunting, or selling our best players at a premium. I don't think this team is a contender quite yet, but it will be tough out in the playoffs. I like how this team stacks up against any team in the west not named Colorado, or Vegas(if Eichel is good to go for the playoffs).

I think that a lot should depend on how the negotiations with Gaudreau and Tkachuk are progressing. Essentially, is this our best chance at contending for a cup in the near future? or would a Flames team in 2-3 years be even better. In my opinion, if the Flames can keep everyone then our best chance is the year when Monahan and Lucic come off the books.
