The Flames simply can't afford to buy and chances are they're in a position to sell. Take one more off-season and look at expansion victims to retool the roster and come back with another coach next year.

I actually quite like Gulutzan as a coach... Wasn't sold on him at first, but I really like how the flames have been playing. If we hadn't had the slow start we'd be sitting in a much better position right now and likely wouldn't be doubting the coach.
What did we honestly expect after how we looked last year? I predicted either barely making or missing the playoffs. looks to be how it's going right now which is a pretty good improvement over last year... trending in the right direction anyways. Next year should be when we can truly judge the coach.
