In early Feb last year, I believe he addressed the team as a whole - players and coaches, everyone.
He simply said that he was either going to be a potential seller or a potential buyer at the deadline, that where this team was after the next few weeks will dictate his actions. If they could prove they were worthy of still at least being in the race, he'd get them some help for hopefully a deep run. If not, he needed to recoup assets as best as he can in the face of a failed season.
Weeks later, the Flames were still right in the mix in the deadline and so he got us Stone, who was pretty important down the stretch and in the playoffs... even though we lost all 4.
