I agree.

This year is a year to reload on picks and give development time to players whose growth has been stunted by former management/coaching. All of Pelletier, Zary, Coronato, Pospisil, Wolf, etc.. should have already had substantial playing time in the NHL by now. They are likely 1-2 years behind in their proper development, and the Flames need to make up that time this year.

I see Huberdeau coming back to form and the team having a totally different feel in 1-2 years.
