Since Edwards won't allow the Flames to properly rebuild, there are very low chances of getting the blue chip prospects that fans will pay to see even on a losing team (look at the Hawks with Bedard).

True. It all depends on Markstrom. If the rumor that the owners want a Mercer level asset to approve a trade is true, but they are in fact willing to trade him, and some team is willing to match the demand... then we bottom out next year easily. This off season will be very interesting to see what happens with him. Maybe after all of this he asks to be traded you never know.
