Flames have to run with the hand they were dealt with. The team isn't going to make the playoffs anyway so I don't understand why we are having threads like this.

So we can't try to get better if we aren't making the playoffs? Thank god you're not the GM. You'd be the Kevin Lowe of the NHL. "Stay the course, next year is our year"!
