The Peters thing didn't help, but the team's on and off again attention to detail just doesn't scream push your chips in this season.
The bold move would be to move one of the D for futures, make the playoffs anyway and surprise, all the while planning to change the core in the off season.

Does it feel like GG's second year to you? Coming off a pretty decent regular season and a pummeling by the Ducks, and the Flames were in and out of the PO picture and just not getting their act together, and were 18-16-4 on Dec. 29. The only big run was a 7 game streak from Dec. 31-Jan. 14 that put them into the hunt at 25-16-4 as of Jan. 14 (they are 23-17-5 right now). Then they just collapsed.
If it does, what can they do to avoid the same finish? Or should they embrace and enhance the collapse (but this time have a draft pick to show for it)?
