I don't think the Flames are in a tough spot. I think it's obvious that the Flames should NOT:
-Acquire a pending UFA unless Treliving somehow know they will re-sign
-Acquire anyone over 30
-Keep their pending UFAs (but at this point it looks like Hamonic will stay here - injured, then walk)
-Waste more minor assets acquiring bottom 6 players

Also, they should hire one of Boudreau, Laviolette, or Gallant.
Nothing against Ward, but these guys are top-notch.
