I believe we're at a crossroads here and breaking point so to speak now.
What has to happen is a coaching change and a big deal for an impact player, even if the Flames include some draft picks and current prospects.
I like Hartley but it's just not working.
You still have to ice a team that can play the scheduled games in the NHL here.

A move like that would set this franchise back even further. The last thing you do in a rebuild is trade away prospects and draft picks. This team isn't going to be a contender anytime soon and what we need most is patience and to not deviate from the plan when things get rough.
Acquiring an impact player makes no sense due to the high cost to get him and the fact that one player is not going to make a huge difference. It also sends a bad message to the rest of the prospects.
