Should the Flames blow it apart? Or maybe just stay the course. It's a random game and you just have to be in the dance to have a chance. You can maximize your potential, but there are no sure bets.

Either of these would be a bad decision.
There is middle ground which it neither and makes us a better team next year without blowing things up.
People keep using Washington as the example of sticking with it, but that ignores the fact that they added guys like Oshie, Wilson, Kusnetsov & Holtby before finally getting it done (by trade or draft).
It wasn't a case of staying the course.
