This team really needs a management overhaul.

We are not older, nor are we slower. Take a look at the 2012/13 Flames' roster. It was Jurassic. The top 8 forwards by points:
Cammalleri, Stempniac, Tanguay, Hudler, Glencross, Stajan, Iginla, Cervenka
The defense:
Wideman, Bouwmeester, Giordano, Brodie, Butler, Sarich
If we're less exciting to watch, that's style of play, which is hard to blame on the POHO.
As for cap room, we were a cap team then and a cap team now. I think the team is a lot less burdened with bad contracts now than they were then.
