That core did not have the strength to beat an Avalanche, or Vegas team.
I believe Conroy has a chance to do this right and add a few elite players from the draft while still having veteran players to help the “retool”. We lucked out with Gaudreau in the 4th round, let’s find another bigger, younger and more elite Gaudreau in the top 10 of the draft (hopefully a centre).

I have a feeling you’re not going to find an elite player where the Flames are going to be drafting.
I don’t disagree with everything else that you said.
