It would seem to me that, from an organizational standpoint, there are few expectations at all this year.

I disagree with your post. Is a 2 week tournament really going to immerse him in a winning culture? I don't know if it is long enough to have an impact. I do agree with the pressure comment though.
Also the organization has stated there are expectations to play hard every game and not give up. For the most part the team has bought in. The flames are realistic that they don't have the pieces to make the playoffs but they have gone out of their way to say they have high expectations for their players
