Not that it's even important. We went from being a lottery team to a playoff team. That is success no matter how you look at it.
In regards to the team being moved. It's not happening, this is all strategy from both sides to get the best deal possible. I don't think anyone is really taking this seriously at this point.
Who said anything about bringing back the exact same team? Who said anything about protecting Brouwer and losing Ferland? These are hypotheticals that have no basis and you are CHOOSING to get worked up about them.

oh god, I never said the team was actually moving or getting swept by the Oilers had anything to do with it.
I am saying there haven't been a ton of positives around the team of late so said I somewhat expect for them to protect Brouwer and lose Ferland...which trust me would not go over well.
Go read the Flames season ticket renewal forum or the new arena forum and judge what hardcore flames fans think of the team right now....apply that to the general public. Apathy might be the key word, Flames need to make some positive noise. Can't wait for western jersey 2.0 next week lol
