They are an above average team who haven't gotten the breaks this year. I'd avoid any rash moves if I were Treliving, but they definitely need to find a way to get at least couple additional top 9 forwards as well as a capable back-up (relying on a 35yo goalie without one seems ill-advised in hindsight).
What makes a year like this tough, though -- aside from obviously the disappointing season in of itself -- is that now Gio is going to be a year older, Smith is going to be a year older. I know Calgary's got some decent goalie and defense prospects in their system but those are two major pieces on the downside of their careers and there are never any guarantees with prospects.
Also, their lack of picks heading into this draft. Also their 1st rounder which they used to acquire Hamonic might be a top 10 pick, if Calgary continues to free fall.
Just a terrible season for them. They have a good top 6, but their bottom 6 is one of the worst in the league.
If I were Treivling, I would look to move Brodie, Stone, for some offensive help OR for picks. Guys like Valimki, Fox, Andersson likely make the jump to the NHL within the next year or so. Trade some of the older vets like Stajan, and also they should just end the Lazar experiment.
