The Flames do not have enough talent up front to be competitive, and they have way too much salary on defense to be able to address it in a significant way.
This is where I just absolutely shake my head at some posters who continually whine about the coach. The Flames are a salary imbalanced roster without nearly enough scoring punch up front, and they've been like this for two calendar years now.
This team is a pretender, not a contender, and GG is low on the list of problems facing the organization right now.

Doesn't players point production depend on coaching?
Vegas should not be better than the Flames. There is no way you or anyone would've taken that roster over the Flames to begin the season. So why are they better?
My biggest fear is that the organization has this mindset and purges the best core of young players we've seen for decades, rather than just spending the money on a proven experienced coach that will take them to the next level.
