Fair comments, I think. There's the current window the Flames are in, now minus Gaudreau, but still with Lindholm, Hanifin, Andersson, Tanev on great deals and a number one goalie in Markstrom. Should the Flames flip the switch and "rebuild" (which I agree Flames management isn't interested in)? Or does it make more sense to try and continue with this group despite losing Gaudreau, but still with the value contracts that Treliving put in place? Replacing how dynamic Gaudreau is isn't going to happen, but can someone slide into that spot and still end with Tkachuk getting 75-85? Lindholm is still a very good player.
