Keep developing young players, make room in the roster when there’s a choice, accept that competitiveness will take time. Draft top ten for a while, hopefully luck into a top 3 pick or two, but regardless, draft well and keep building from within.

The Flames have turned over 80% of their roster in the last 2-3 years. I don’t think they are putting much effort into keeping vets around. Just via math.
