With that said, I'm not expecting a bottom 5 finish. Turning veteran assets into picks/prospects is my hope and drafting well with the picks we have.

This wasn’t a bad team last year. I have heard the injury reference and how the Flames had none but they did miss one of their top 4 D from the previous year for all 82 games in Kylington. The Flames had poor goaltending and some bad luck otherwise they would have been a 100pt team and in the playoffs.
Subtract Hanifin and Lindholm and replace them with no one then yes they will be at best on the bubble. I feel like last years team was a top team that had some horrible performances by key players but no where near as bad as some posters on here suggest.
I want trades for picks but am also interested in trades for players who are on the verge of breaking out similar to the trade that brought Lindholm and Hanifin here in the first place 5 years ago
