After the last 3 games I’ll be honest I was pretty worried about having to watch the Flames for the next two or three seasons. They looked horrible defensively. I was at the game last night and they played great. I was also worried about Wolf TBH. But last night changed my mind.
The Conman is going to have a lot of cap flexibility this summer to mold this roster into something that could be pretty good. I don’t think he has to blow it up. But I do think thet should move Markstrom for some more prospects and picks. Use the cap space to fill in a couple of gaps. In my mind a second or third line center and a 3rd/4th dman. Just to get the youngsters through a couple of seasons until the are really ready.
The key is Wolf and Vladar. If they can both play well I think they can be competitive without any more massive changes. Moving Markstrom might get you one of the gaps filled that I mentioned above.
Hopefully they can continue what they did last night down the stretch. If they can I’m onboard with whatever the conman decides to do. He has really outperformed anything I thought was possible. Bravo.
