It's an interesting and controversial POV.
I say add 20+ scorers where you can, just do it through leveraging cap space or from a position of strength. Just don't sacrifice the assets you're accumulating for the 'retool' to make those adds. That's when it goes down the path of fast tracking a rebuild that hasn't cooked at the expense of futures.
If they can be creative enough to add while staying the course of building the prospect base, then so be it.
But yeah.. IF wolf is a top 3 goalie in the world in a year or two, or this season, then that expedites the Flames' ability to compete considerably. Just like how Igor sent the Rangers rebuild into warp speed.
