Proud season. Some vets rose up and some kids really shone brightly giving us a stable vision of the future of this team.

Am I disappointed from a draft nerd perspective? Yes. Chips fell where they fell and thats okay at the end of the day. And the Flames have plenty of bullets in the chamber to really swing on some picks.

Then you look at the cap space and the kids they have to sign. They may only be able to go out and get a good LHD and maybe swing on a big FA.

Flames are going to have to make a decision on RD as they have the future swinging an axe through the door in Parekh. Can't keep all of Andersson, Weegs and Pachal and Parekh. I suspect Anderssons on the way out.

All in all, those guys gave 110% for eachother this season. Came up short but gave the fans a glimmer of hope for the immediate future and beyond.

We really missed Zary IMO. I think the outcome may have been different if he didn't lose so much time.
