This team just does not have not have an established identity from one night to the next.

Frankly, that points to a weak and completely put of touch gm and management group. I think the gm is about as brutal as the coaching staff. He thought the rebuild was done, and that the flames are a hamonic away from being a true contender, at the cost of a 1st rounder and 2 x 2nd rounders.
I actually would be content to see both gm and coach out of here soon. They aren't going to get this team anywhere.
