The thing is where the flames ever going to have the shot at a franchise player? Ownership mandate is to compete now. That's not changing whether we like it or not. The odds were pretty high that they would be buyers at the deadline to make sure they could sneak in.
I can't say i like the direction of the team but until one of us comes up with $300 million there is not much we can do about it.
Now that this has happened we need to win to make sure they are not getting a good draft pick. Flames can always make trades at the draft to recoupe a pick.
