They will not fire Hartley at this point as it serves ZERO purpose, the best trade values will come after the Olympics, and understand that rebuilds are UGLY and thats where this team is right now and what so very many wanted just a short while ago. Well, this is what it looks like so get used to it.

Tough call...with 3 Flames games (most team's don't have any more) after the break and before the deadline won't make a big deal.
One would think it more advantageous to get those players to the team before the break, to give them that two weeks to get settled to the new city. That means trades (as the TOR/CAL deal with Phaneuf 4 years ago) within the next 3 weeks.
As far as coach....say want you want about the roster, the compete....fact iis he was never meant to coach a rebuilding team...and now with goals in 2 of their last 7 games, although not his complete fault it's showing he's run out of ideas and players are tuning him and his ideas out.
