I've been a Flames fan for a long time. Like all of you. Shouldn't we have learned by now?

The answer to the thread's question is of course, no. What will happen here is they will continue to struggle until about end / middle of December. Then they will turn it around and be amazing. Buying into the system, looking great. They'll make about 9-10th place and we will have a close but unsuccessful playoff charge. Ending without a good draft pick and without playoffs.

But wait, we will feel great about this because they'll have shown exiting the season that they're worth hanging around for next year! Treliving will make a clever deal or two, or a signing or two and we will be so excited for next year.

But it'll never matter. They'll just barely never get there. This is what being a Flames fan is all about.
