This will be the biggest test to the merit and ownership buy-in of Conroy's plan. What's the direction they're taking with Rasmus? Will they stick to their adding players under 25, or will they be big players in free agency to improve the roster now? Are they willing to move any other veterans (Coleman) to create space for younger players in the organization?
It's going to be a fascinating off-season.

In what world has the flames shown they're going all in for the playoffs this season?
They literally handed the keys to a rookie goalie and said run with it and he did.
