We all have so little information—why are there such strong feelings from so many posters with so little information? I think the answer is obvious.

Yes, pretty much everything here is speculation with no insider knowledge (to the team or the position).
Here is what I think we know:
1- Tre is unafraid to make drastic changes even if things look good (firing Hartley a year after he wins the Adams; trading Hamilton the year he ties the league lead in goals for a d-man)
2- The Flames have change their NHL tandem 3 times in 4 years - using 10 different goalies in that time.
Is Sigalet the problem? maybe/maybe not. Is the current tandem the problem? maybe/maybe not. But, they have changed the tandem before. Sigalet doesn't seem to be part of the solution, and if you're not part of the solution.....
Hard is watching 8 bad goalies (jury still kind of out on GIllies & Rittich).
Time for easy.
