Too many times I've read posts here saying that we're fast enough and skilled enough. If this team is considered skilled enough and fast enough here, than the standards are way too low.

We also need to trust our youth more. The Flames are bad at letting young guys good enough to play start the year in the AHL
If Treliving wants to turn this team around he needs to get off his wallet and sign 1 or 2 UFA's and if it puts in a cap crunch I guess we solve that issue by playing Andersson, Wotherspoon, Kylington, Rittich, Klimchuk, Foo type players. Not all have to be on the team but we better see 3-4 of them.
IMO 2 of Stone, Brodie, Brouwer or Frolik need to move out so we can get the guys we need. Other than Brouwer the rest are good players but in some cases are they really that much better than the AHL players? Also could fix the draft situation by trading 2. Even if we end up with a 2nd and a 3rd back it will allow us to add some ok prospects to the prospect pool
