That's it.

That, and not burning it to the ground.
Whether it is a Dallas model or not, the Flames are doing the right thing by not losing UFAs for nothing, giving younger players a chance and (hopefully) cashing in on a pretty good haul of draft picks.
I don't see much chance of them being good next year where the draft pick goes to MTL. Markstrom is a bit of a wild card, as he might get traded or he might just be average next year, which would result in a pretty terrible team. I am confident that they won't spend big money on UFAs, given what Conroy has said and done in the past year.
