I will be stunned if the team is brought back as is. I think they will make changes. And to me that's why not much happened at the deadline. Buyers at the deadline aren't looking to subtract from their core roster, they want to add. The Flames aren't looking to trade their core players for futures.
I think they will look to change the make-up of the team, and perhaps in doing so, acquire players that are younger and/or locked up longer.
And those deals aren't ones you find at the deadline.
I suspect a busy off-season.
The biggest question mark is who will be steering that off-season.
