If the Flames don't figure things out by this time next year, that's a different story.

Regression from Hudler, Wideman, Ramo, Bouma, and Hiller is the entire reason why the Flames are not in the spot San Jose is.

If the Flames address the goaltending and add another scorer or two in the offseason and the Flames are still terrible, then they probably move on from Hartley.
