At the bare freaking minimum. It would give me the smallest sliver of hope that maybe they're not one the worst run team in the league...but, we'll see.

With how this season has gone my number one wish at the deadline was to not move futures for a maybe. Even when they were closer to the playoffs (bubble in) I didn't want the 1st moved for a rental in a deep draft.
The Flames will need those picks to succeed and push.
Now they're clearly out (to most) and they've even avoided that 5th for a depth defenseman trade so far.
Hope that continues.
I get the don't move the 6 big UFAs in a year if you want to win next season. But you get the cap space and another 1st round pick and that is value. So hope they are listening but won't lose it if they don't move one of the six.

Does that not hit a little bit of a "my expectations are really low" vibe? I really liked Loubo earlier last month saying that this team doesn't need to be mocked or ridiculed, it very simply needs to be held to a higher standard (internally).
