Meh, no big loss. It would be nice to see the Flames play a whole new set of rosters twice a year. More teams to trade with, to draft against, to lose free agents, and so fourth. I can't believe people are pissy about losing some sloppy left overs when the value of another two teams greatly improve the product we all sit down and watch.
