Moving forward Team Management has to take back control of this team. Somewhere along the line the interests of individual players have been placed above those of the team.
That is not how successful franchises are built.

Actually, being respectful to the wishes of 36 year olds who carried the team on their back for a decade, who want to retire as Flames, is exactly how successful franchises are built.
Some things are a lot more important than a 2nd or 3rd round pick.
When Kiprusoff retires, I very much hope it is as a Flame, and I will stand up and applaud what has been a truly remarkable career.
