Trade Gio and Johnny! Fire BT! Same Bennett as #1center!
Jesus guys, really?? I get people are frustrated and so am I, but people sure have short memories.
Treliving is inflexible and slow to move and afraid to make big trades at the right time? We have one if the most swing-happy GM's in the league and you can't fault him for not trying things. The unfortunate thing is that when we signed brouwer and Neal, they were exactly the kind of players we needed and should have been great playoff leader types, but they just decided to sign their retirement contract instead. Nobody saw that coming at the time.
I think this team is built to make the playoffs and contend every year. Like any team that needs to learn how to win in he playoffs, we need to go through it, learn how to win in the playoffs, and tweak the team year after year and add supporting pieces that will get you over the hump. That's how it's done.
Sure there's some concerns like Neal as an anchor (likely a disgruntled anchor now), Monahan's potential long term injury situation, and Johnny learning how to find another gear or BT finding players that can help him have more playoff success, but let's not lose track of what was a very encouraging year. We have some great young players starting to come into their own, and this year was a learning experience for them too. I agree Peters got outcoached, but I really like he job he did this year and I think he will learn and get better as well.
Let's make some adjustments and come back for another great year. Go Flames!!
