Maybe this is news to you. The Flames are contending for a Stanley Cup now. As in right now.

Trading a very young stud d-man on a spectacular contract for some magic beans in hopes of unearthing the next Hanafin is a good way for a Treliving to print himself a one way ticket out of town.

Unless your goal is to make the Flames a low end playoff or bubble team every year, at some stage you need to forget about the future and concentrate on the present. That time is now.
