Small Window For Flames

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
Ultimately, their focus isn’t years down the road anyway — it is this year and next. As a GM, Sutter signed all his most important players — including Kiprusoff, the reigning Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender, and team captain Jarome Iginla, a former NHL scoring champion — to multi-year contracts, most of which expire at the end of the 2007-08 season. At that point, the team may find it cannot keep its core group together. So if the window is short, the Flames’ philosophy is clearly to go for it now and then let the chips fall where they may.
On paper, they probably weren’t good enough to compete with the Western Conference powerhouses a fortnight ago, when Sutter began his wheeling and dealing.
