Rhett Warrener and some of the posters here really need to find some new material. I'm sure they'd disagree with me saying Hartley is a better coach than his predecessor.

The problem was that when things go past their expiry date, they go stale. And I don't mean the players are past expiry, but it was evident that the Flames and the vets such as Iginla no longer had a symbiotic relationship. That led to a less than optimal environment, even if everyone was trying their best.
The Flames started this rebuild a few years late, and as a result they almost ca help to create a better environment by casting off players like Iggy, not because he's a bad leader, but because he was in the wrong situation at the end with the Flames. Iggy and Tangs will be much more like their old selves again with change of environment too, everyone wins!
