I think this will be a bottom 5 team next season (with Markstrom gone) unless Conroy trades a lot of these picks for 'win now' players. From the little hints, it sure sounds like Calgary is more intent on drafting players than trading for them, with the last tidbit being that Conroy himself is off to go do some scouting.
I would actually expect Calgary to be sellers again next deadline, though obviously not to the extend that they were this season. Some players will be re-signed, some won't, and those will be traded.
