I think you have to roll with what you are. The Flames have added some young, secondary talent, and what looks like an elite goaltender. So some pieces are in place that are keeping things from sliding.

The biggest issue is there isn’t a “solution” per se - and that’s a really really bad spot to be in
People have shown it takes ~10 years even when drafting an elite player at 1 to win a cup . We haven’t even taken that step yet . So realistically even players 24+ will be old and/or not with this team when they actually compete for a cup
I think keeping Andersson , Coleman and even Weegar was a mistake . They should have torn this down even more , sucked up the pain for 3 years and started the upswing as we entered the new building .
Where do we go from here with a goalie who looks to be able to steal enough points from keeping us horrible , and vets playing hard ? I guess finish out of the playoffs the next 3 years in the middle , see the vets gets older and worse , and cross our fingers 3 of our 1st round drafted guys turn into stars / superstars
If not we will still be forced to eventually do a true tear down rebuild , and unfortunently it will be in 3-5 years and everyone will wish we had just done it sooner (no different then looking back wishing we rebuilt after the MT trade )
It is what it is - and what it is isn’t looking promising for the long term success of this franchise
