Then they got Sharp in a trade and added Campbell and Hossa as UFA's.

Man is it crazy to think the flames could do something similar?
I feel like all were missing is that elite center talent up front.
D core has good foundations with weegar, rasmus and bahl. Some solid D prospects getting really close.
Goaltending seems solid. Wolf is shapping up to be the real thing.
Then we have lots of solid vets up front and some solid prospects.
If we somehow snagged like a Hagens or McKenna over the next couple years, I think this process would go very quickly.
