Our management is too blind to be willing to do it. They think we have enough magic pixie dust to be able to chase 8th spot.
People are too attached to players and that's the problem. I love Iginla and Kipper. But I love the Flames, not just the players. I've been telling people this since december.
Trade Iginla.
Trade Kipper.
Get back two reasonable prospects. I think getting Schenn for Iginla is totally doable which would be one good starting block. Picking up a young D-man for Kipper.
The team will most certainly tank to a bottom 3 team and will pick in the top 3. Who cares if we tank in a 48 game season.
The highest we've ever picked in 6th. I would argue that trading Kipper and Iginla for two decent prospects would put us in a position immediately next year to push for the playoffs.
We'll have a good goalie coming in with Ramo.
The big problem is. Calgary fans tends to be blind and delusional. Ya know we need to keep Iggy and Kipper cuz their flames.
Remember if you can trade Gretzky you can trade anybody.
