Players and coaches aren't tanking seasons. There's no motive to do so on their part unless someone can demonstrate they're getting paid under the table bonuses for sub par play and secondly, that they would be 100% compliant in keeping it quiet.
No chance.
A GM can manipulate a roster to make some strange, negative things more likely. Go ahead and make a specific case in the last two or three years.
Most probable thing is that poop happens.
All this winning by the Flames is probably helping them rescue their season ticket base while helping lower the percentage likelihood of a new franchise player. Flames owners are probably exhilarated and depressed all at the same time.
