Anyone else there please add or correct. Surely I completely misunderstood some points.
Thanks again to the Flames for putting these on once or twice a year.
Current season
- Hartley and Treliving view the season as a disappointment - goal was always to make the playoffs. They expect to make the playoffs every year. That said, they haven't lost sight of the long-term goal which is to be a Stanley Cup contender every single year.
- Last season every single bounce went the Flames way. Wouldn't say it publicly, but knew things wouldn't go that way this year. But with roster changes they expected to improve regardless.

- The downside is their signings have turned okay contracts (mentioned Smid, Stajan by name) into bad contracts.

I edited out a bunch of other stuff in that quote.
