However you want to slice and dice it, the Flames have a decent core to work with with a few top tier talent players in there and a number of boom/bust prospects from 2024 that could really surprise us.
There is a small chance that the Flames get into the top 10 of the draft this season and maybe they bottom out next season as the other tanking teams of the West stop being so horrible but there is also a good chance that we are picking in the 20s this draft and the teens next draft.
With that in mind, if you want to build around this core of young NHLers and prospects then you have to swing for the fence on a few key pieces. Cozens fit the bill for one of those gaps as a potential first line C with a right shot.
Now that this ship has sailed, the Flames should be looking for the next opportunity to consolidate a few good assets into a single great asset that addresses the biggest need in the team.

Yeah none of those vets are worth building around. It’s embarrassing to think so. They are all past their prime.
The team needs to rebuild but as we know Edwards won’t allow that.
Cozen isn’t the elite talent to take this team over the top. Team needs actual elite top line talent.
And Dino with his usual Wolf and post in another thread saying wolf isn’t the reason we are good.
