There should only be two numbers retired by the Flames: 12 & 2.
Flames 2nd line is not good enough to go deep into the playoffs. Trade first rounder for upgrade on 2C, and have Tkachuk and Bennett play on the 2nd line with the future 2C.
Mangipane will never find his NHL game and will fizzle into obscurity.
Section 103, 104 & 105 should be standing room only, $35 general admission zone 18+. That would make for a raucous crowd. Shove all the toffs to the center ice areas and 2nd bowl and let the working class fans cheer the team on.
