Somebody phrased our Flames situation perfectly on CP last week. They referred to it as "rebuilding with dignity." I like that.

It's because when you try to lose on purpose, you let your players get away without doing the little things to win - like backchecking.
You can't just flip that on a dime the next year and expect them to do that...after you sign them to long-term extensions.
