If you were a GM and could choose any team in the league to try and build into a contender I think Calgary would be near the bottom of that list. The Ducks finished last and could easily finish below the Flames this year, but their future outlook is a lot stronger to eventually being a contender in my eyes. So what the Flames did 2 years ago is completely irrelevant when the 2 most important guys from that team are gone. Now consider the UFAs that could leave after this year. Consider the age of their core. Consider their lack of picks and high profile prospects moving forward. Consider the money and term sunk into older players. Conroy has his work cut out for himself.
