Drafting and developing talent is the Flames fundamental problem. That has been the biggest constant for this team.

Iginla has helped this team win more than it should have.

Like I said, pretty much a classic case of scapegoating happening in Calgary right now. Not unlike Vancouver fans turning on Luongo.

When our next captain is more like Todd Simpson than Iginla then tell me how you feel about it.
