Recover from the Sutters. Lol. If Phaneuf played the game he's playing in Toronto right now, on the Flames, we definitely won that deal. Stajan has been playing great. That's the only leftover piece from that deal, but right now, Stajan is one of the key pieces for the Flames. I would rather have this Stajan than Torontos Phaneuf any day of the week. Without Sutter, we wouldn't have Kiprusoff. Sutter was terrible at drafting, sure. But thats the only thing this management is good at. They aren't even re-tooling this roster.
As much faith that I have in this team right now, this year will be the only year we have a shot at making the playoffs. Our core is too old. If we would have traded Iggy after 10-11 and raked in a huge profit I honestly thing we'd be in a playoff spot right now. But we didn't. So we aren't.
