Obviously Elliott #### the bed against Anaheim, but it was pretty clear that goaltending wasn't the only issue.
Why did the flames need to expend so many picks in such a short amount of time to just stop the bleeding and not really improve?
This is the bizarre flames notion that a chance at any kind of success is an invitation to go all in.
What is the team direction exactly? What is the 'process'? Hard to look at this team over Tre's tenure and suggest there is an overarching plan other than 'move draft picks for roster players, win now' which isn't a terribly different direction than his predecessors.

Lol Johnson as a tandem. Johnson is a backup goalie and that's it. He is not a 1a goalie or a 1b goalie, he is a backup. Tre offered him a contract for this season as a backup and he said no.
The tandem route had failed for the last bunch of years. Why would they go that route again?
