I'm fine with that, but many on here who prefer to speculate on the uncertain potential of how 17-19 year old kids will mature and fit in as a pro to shape the franchise in 3-5+ years, may not be.
However, any trades or transactions this organization does, should be viewed through that shorter term lens.
Doesn't mean young guys are going to be brought up and along, but it also doesn't mean a top down rebuild for a couple years.
Crossing topics I am sure that BT and the Flames have a pretty good idea of what JG and MT are doing this offseason already, so have factored that into the team structure for next few years.

I believe Sutter will be here for longer than just 1 more year. Dude came here on a mission. He knows what it takes from a roster perspective, and he was pretty openly critical of his roster this year at times.
