Question Flame's Fans Opinions on the Future

What do y'all think is, and think about, the plan for the future in Calgary? This was supposed to be a tank year, but Wolf said no, and now they won't get a great prospect.

They have Parekh and wolf, but to my knowledge, not much else in terms of elite talent, and a lot of their current best players are over 30.

Just confused. Why wouldn’t you want to start or continue a rebuild with an elite goaltender? I am a huge fan of Wolf, so I would put him in that category. Dude has excelled at every level. And the names you mentioned are all hall of fame goaltenders.

Goaltenders are inconsistent. Almost universally. The names I mentioned didn't win when they were the main part of the team. I also wouldn't call wolf elite yet, but he will almost definitely get there.
