You must be new to the game if you honestly believe that the Flames will have the worst 1st line in league history. Lots of NHL teams have had worse first lines, hell just look at Atlanta in 99-00. Their top 3 forwards for even strength ice-time through the year were a 35 year old Ray Ferraro, Andrew Brunette and Kelly Buchburger. No matter who our top line is it wouldn't remotely resemble having having a 4th line plug as a 1st line forward. Hnat Domenichielli became one of their top forwards after we traded him there that year!!!

And complaining that depth players signing their qualifying offers doesn't instill confidence is a really dumb thing to say. It;s like you are complaining that they signed depth players to tiny contracts fro a whole 1 year.

You really need to gain some perspective.
