Trelivings window ended this year (Thanks War room)

This is the most important off-season the Flames have had in maybe 10+ years.
If Johnny walks, we're in a world of hurt and back to that infinite cycle of mediocrity we all have grown to love.

If these playoffs have proven anything, is that once again as a Franchise you need lottery picks and or drafted and developed players in your organization to help carry you to success.

Colorado:
MacKinnon
Landeskog
Rantanen
Makar

Edmonton:
McBaby
Crysaitl
The other numerous 1st O/A picks they squandered

Tampa:
Stamkos
Kucherov
Vasilevksy
Point
Hedman

NYR: (some of their stars were lucky to fall to their lap for different reasons)
Zibanejad
Shesterkin
Lafreniere
Kakko
Fox
Miller

Having draft success and lottery picks propels you out of the mediocrity and its not even debatable. Unfortunately even if we tanked you can bet the hockey gods would curse this team and we would be the top 3 pick who gets bumped to 7th.
