I realize it isn't from a lack of trying by management, and also that things could change anytime between now and the deadline, but as a fan, definitely a tad disappointed in more of a shuffle being made to try to improve the team.
It's a good team, I am not saying otherwise of course. Just that I was definitely hoping for a bit more turnover.

I think that there a few things worth mentioning. First is that the Flames Acquired Pelletier. Secondly, The team only needed minor adjustments. The only change that was not positive was that Hathaway was replaced by Reider. Still, the disparity in contracts makes that more palatable.
Barring the last four games of the season, the Flames were the second best team in the NHL. Nothing that happened in the off-season suggests that Flames won't have similar results.
