I am about ready to start cheering for losses come end of month. Flames could realistically only have a shot at winning 2 games the rest of nov.
A high draft pick and no brainer deadline to dump contracts could be a lot better than any fathomable alternative.

I share your POV. Would never have thought it would happen this early in the season. Management has probably considered the above option^ (a complete assumption on my part!) BT decided to go to bat with this group but the effort and the pieces just are not there.
Since BT didn't acquire what he needed in trades prior to the season and finishing high in the draft might be considered a way to acquire those pieces; That or a major shake up may happen at some point.
Every option is likely considered but it certainly looks like the team has collectively already thrown in the towel for this season. This just doesn't seem like an average team slump. Very disappointing!
On cheering losses? No way gotta cheer for the team wins. Rationally open minded, sure but very still disappointing! This team is much better than they have shown. Hopefully this teams wakes up soon before it is too late!
