I think it will take a long, hard uninspired run of losing hockey for the Flames to finally start selling off. I feel disgusting for saying this, but going on a losing streak would be the best thing for this club long term. Sure it's fun when we win and we can all post happy dancing gifs and have our optimism renewed. But at the end of the day, us straddling the .500 line only causes management to delay the inevitable.

I'd like to see us lose and be so far out of it that we have no choice but to sell.

I honestly think the only way Feaster will start selling off is if we are so far back that we have no chance of making a decent run. The longer we stay in a playoff contending position, the worse off the deadline will be for us.
