The players have laid their own path. I say since we are basically stuck with the contracts, lets have another offseason with the same core, and take a hard look at goaltending in the offseason, maybe acquire another scorer, and give it another go next year. This year, play it out and if we make it that's awesome, if we don't then we don't but we cant really at this point change where we are going to be in the standings which is likely right in the middle (realistically not going to go on a huge slide or winning streak at this point).

Because the entire point is to get in and give yourself a chance. The Flames are either barely making the playoffs or barely missing the playoffs and their draft pick won't change much at all. I'll take the playoff games.
I agree I don't want them as big buyers at the TDL. Rather see what next year brings and go from there. But playoffs or no playoffs? In the Flames position you take playoffs all day long.
