Option 3. I worry about back up goaltending being suboptimal if/when Wolf inevitably has a skid, but otherwise I think the Flames improve in all other areas over last season. I think Huska is an astute coach who will find ways to help the young roster evolve and continue to be difficult to play against and take points from. Conroy will stay consistent and find new homes for expiring contracts/vets while seeking out value reclamation projects that fit his target age group. I think we’re finally getting a team built on a solid long term financially sustainable foundation with an abundance of team controlled prospects who will provide good performance vs cost value for success. Hopefully Conroy & Huska don’t get poached by larger market teams before the Flames reach the ultimate goal (multiple times).
