Until this vacuum is filled, I don't think this team is going anywhere.

The Flames organization has Gio, Monahan and new comer Brouwer.... who has not worn a letter in his 8 year career.
Both Gio and Monahan are lead by example guys.... neither one seems to be a locker room leader.. Neither one is very comfortable with this leadership responsibility that comes with Captain-ship
Has there been any interviews, taking of responsibility by these guys... calling out of the effort of the team as a whole?
The whole season is basically down the drain and I have not heard of any players only meetings.
The Treliving process does not prioritize an extrovert competitive player.
Waiting for Bennett? or maybe Tkachuck? or Jankowski? Hopefully the high pick the Flames get in 2017 will be a leader.
