BT is all in, and the Flames are a bubble team. Did he build a bad roster or is the coach not maximizing the team he has?
I think Flames look great on paper, and I like the moves BT made - i.e. keeping prospects and what's left of picks the next year.
A lot of people were ready to pull the plug on GG after season one, not me. But two years in I think we know what we have, no? Do we really think year three will be better?
Obviously I take it all back if GG figures it out the team gets consistent over the 20 and he gets this team into the playoffs and playing well. I hope he does, but the cynic in me says we know what we have, it will be tight until the last day and that this team doesn't look ready to win a playoff series against anyone in the West.

I'd say it's put up or shut up time for the Flames. They need to make the playoffs and if they don't, I won't be to interested in hearing about improvement in point totals, or better possession numbers.
15 teams in the west. 8 make it. Just be above average.
