We already have some very solid peices at important positions and need to find depth and a star or two (which we should through the draft in view of the way the season is going).
Keep the course, get back maximum value, find a solid U-25 centre (hello Mercer) and draft well.

It is good to be optimistic, but Calgary has few players currently which likely make up the core of a playoff team.
Anderson will be gone by then unless signed to an unappealing 8 year contract.
If Mercer was available the trade likely would be done.
Calgary is likely looking at a very long rebuild absent some sensational drafting. It can happen, as the Flames have should some good ability there.
Whether Wolf develops into a very good goalie is pretty important to this rebuild.
