As for the defense, it needs upgrades, preferably from within. Obviously Zayne is one, but another player or two from the Wranglers showing they can handle NHL full time would be lovely.
The forwards need elite offensive players to be contenders. Tough to get unless you draft one, trade for one, or sign as a UFA. All looking bleak for the Flames, drafting is the most obvious route, that also takes a few years to develop. Maybe they will get lucky and one or two will fall in their laps from somewhere, ie. a seemingly 'meh' trade where the player comes to Calgary and pops offensively.
Also, whatever the team did at the 2024 draft - do that again. Amazing draft class.

I don't see no room for him here anymore. Signing would be blocking a young player from lineup.
Also wondering why Misa hasn't signed.
