Does it discuss the Hiller signing? Leaving holes in goaltending is the best way to tank a season and we sure addressed that area, even if Hiller doesn't return to 100%.
The flames signed a proven player who may be a reclamation project but is still young enough to be part of the future IF it does work out. Hence the low risk, high reward.
Hartley would not risk his reputation in the NHL by spending the season tanking with a crap player on the team in place of a hungry prospect.
If Hartley gets fired and Dallas Eakins takes his job, we'll know the Flames are in tank mode.
