There was no option of "wait and see if the Flames screw up in not buying out Brouwer or by trading Hamilton" so I renewed.
As frustrating as the arena fiasco and uninspired play has been, ultimately I still love watching hockey live as it's so poor to watch on TV. I also maintain the Flames have a top ten core in the NHL and with a little optimization of the bottom six/third pairing the Flames can easily rebound to a top five team the next couple seasons, and I would hate to miss out on that.
