Like always, the flames are just unlucky that last year was a buyers market when they had a bunch of assets to move, and a sellers market when now they don't. I get peoples disappointment, but id rather the flames do nothing then throw away picks for rentals or players that don't help them long term going forward.
The flames had an excellent 2024 draft, I'm just going to put some faith that they will continue to make value picks and improve the team through the drafts in 2025/2026/2027. They have an absolute super star in wolf, and what looks like another one in parekh. I'm OK with being patient and letting the younger core play meaningful games and improve hopefully going into the playoffs.
