This is why the Flames should commit to a top pick this year and actually land that first core piece. Why are we trying to squeeze out a few extra wins with aging vets nearing the end of their career? Just accelerate the inevitable. I honestly don't even care about the returns. If Conroy can get a 2nd or late 1st it really doesn't matter all that much. The difference between 2nd overall and 9th overall is way more important to the future of the franchise.

Flames aren't in the best spot in the league since they don't have a recent high end guy. They are also in a better spot than half the league.
So many older capped out teams with no real future, low on draft picks, that are currently meh with .500ish records
