That's the difference of stepping in and forcing an all out tank, or allowing things to play out on a more natural timeline.
I mean it's not impossible that a puck changes cause off a stick and next thing you know Wolf is out 8 weeks with a broken finger and the Flames have Cooley and Provetsov in net. At which point a low finish becomes very likely.
Backlund to me is the first guy after Andersson where the clock starts ticking, then Coleman and Kadri. Weegar is likely at least 2 years out and probably more.
If things do go South this season all could be moved out within 12 months save Weegar. But as of today only Andersson and Backlund need decisions made by March regarding a trade. So still plentybof time.
