Can't argue with anything from the Flames perspective in that article. As an organization we need to stop taking half-measures and looking for shortcuts.
Stay away from signing guys like Necas until we are ready to truly compete, there's always another guy in need of a change of scenery.
Focus on stockpiling draft picks and trusting the scouts, it's the best way forward if we want to be competitive when the new arena opens.
IMO the absolute best thing for this organization right now would be to make a trade with NJ for that #10 pick which is now in play.
Picking 9 and 10 would be the most exciting thing to happen to this team in YEARS. It's exactly what we need in our building cycle right now.
I would be open to anything to get that pick from NJ, come on Craig make it happen. But I imagine something close to this value: Markstrom (25% retained) + 2nd Round Pick (62nd overall)
