Having the core of aging players (Kadar, Huberdeau, Backlund, Coleman, Andersson, Weegar, etc) are likely to keep the Flames in the wild card race,
Key question is how do they take the next step? Getting them as a playoff contender year in and year out?
Flames likely have 1 blue chip prospect in their system currently,
Makar thing, in my opinion, will never happen.

I do agree with you. I would love to see Kadri, Coleman and Rasmus traded for mainly draft picks. I would still probably add a young dman to play in the top 4, play with Parekh, Weegar and Bahl. Someone with upside. IMO that is the best way to move forward.
But if that doesn't happen this off season, at some point the prospects will force Conroy's hand and this team will be very young. Or they don't progress and this team ages out and we are at the bottom in a few years.
Either way, hopefully Conroy sticks with it until we are truly ready to win. To me that is the key, whether he picks my #1 plan or not and whether thsi team is ready for the new arena or not.
