So instead of having one center prospect and a potential Mangiapane type player, we could have two legit top center prospects.
We have to wait another full season to potentially get a top center, which if we are picking in the top 3, that won't be the case this year unless we reach as both of Stenberg and McKenna are wingers and Verhoff is a D-man.
It's so frustrating that they don't want to rebuild and be Buffalo yet their decisions are causing them to go exactly down the path that Buffalo took.

It's pretty hard to be bad on purpose absent just throwing games. Have they looked a lot worse without Andersson? I don't think the D has looked a lot worse. And the Flames are horrible now, but they are being outdone by teams who should be much better. It would have been even harder last season, when Wolf was playing lights out.
