- Given the current make-up of the team, that likely means moving some of the many pending UFAs
- In doing so there may be an opportunity to get younger and re-build the asset base, to better position the team
- Overall the objective is to make the playoffs next year, but not at the expense of asset management.
Get buy-in for a change in approach focused on asset management, do not try to get buy-in for a "re-build".
Win the fight you can win, not try to win the one you can't.

I for one look forward to Conroy’s mic-dropping “don’t call it a rebuild” stage walk-off after trading all of Hanifin, Lindholm, and Toffoli this off-season for futures and young players, and then the Flames make the playoffs and Conroy gets whatever that dumb GM of the year award is.
