Last year kind of proves that point but it was out of Treliving hands that they decided to walk and we had to pivot. That also doesn't mean you load up the team with the Rooneys and and Lewis type guys we could have graduated some players.
Right now we have 5 drafted players in the lineup. Minus the expansion teams that has to be lowest.
Sutter the GM did this as well focused on free agency and trades ignored the draft and left is in a mess.
To take the next step we need to graduate some players and in a hurry.

Flames in this market obviously can't operate like most other teams
