Unfortunately those are the hardest players to draft/develop/trade for.
The Flames haven't had one in as long as I have been watching them.
That's gotta change before true playoff contention is a reality.

I think they're two drafted elite players away from this rebuild being a success and us becoming a contender. It's a hot start with a team playing above their skill level through young, determined players. This happened in 2014 and our previous GM decided we were one or two available through trade players away and stopped rebuilding to plug the "final" holes. Can't do that again, stay the course, keep acquiring draft picks.
