Any win we get down the stretch will mean we will be one point better over the final two years of the BT regime compared to the first 2 years.
If we can go 4-3 down the stretch the GG years can be as successful as the Brent Sutter years six years ago. Plenty to play for as the Flames wind down another season.

Another difference being that Hartley had the team at the beginning of a rebuild when the core wasn't as established as it is now. The team should be better now just in terms of natural growth. Add to that like you said, the mortgaging of the future, and this season is a net negative for the Treliving regime.
