"wait for September... wait for the trade deadline... wait for the draft... wait for July 1... wait for September... wait for the trade deadline...."
Like I said, I'm okay with how things have gone down with this team for the last month or so. But shooting down any criticism with "wait until <....>" has gotten really, really old.

If the team was heading the direction of past teams with aging vets and not trading your star players when they should be, I wouldn't be saying wait until September. This time it appears the team is headed in a different direction with the trades of Ignla and Bouwmeester plus the admission of Feaster that they were chasing fools gold and that they will target younger players.
I'm excited about the changes being made and feel we should give this new direction a chance before we tear it apart. Our #1 pick could land us an impact player.......

It might also be nice if those who - correctly - predicted the Flames plummeting fortunes three years ago were acknowledged as being right, instead of derided as being negative. At some point, being honest should carry more weight than believing whatever makes you feel good. This franchise would probably be in a lot better shape today if it had more of the former and less of the latter.

I agree
