People are panicking about nothing.

No one is panicking. It is very uncommon for a general manager to be in this kind of situation. According to Friedman, 30 other NHL teams do not operate this way, it is unique to the Flames.
People are reacting to the best GM in potentially decades being without a contract for next year on a team without an illustrious history to assuage the doubt that they don't know what they are doing.
It is not a good thing, regardless of how you frame it, that the current and successful general manager is without a contract for next year when the accompanying rumour is that the Flames president of hockey ops is ALSO potentially on the outs.
It's a big deal.
