I remember debating with a lot of posters last summer about how Dougie was the guy we needed to move.

Dougie was always going to get us more (the trade has been fantastic for Calgary so far) and I believed that Brodie and Bennett would be better with a new coach and different role.
I always wanted to see Bennett and Tkachuk together and glad Peters has made the move.

I think both a coaching change and some roster moves were required for this team to take the next step.
The top 6 just wasn't good enough. The addition of Lindholm and hopefully Neal (though it hasn't happened yet) addresses that.
The Hamilton thing I just don't get. But it seems like, for whatever reason, the Flames wanted to and perhaps needed to - move on from him.
