The other guy will be chasing is big UFA payday that the Flames can't really afford if they hope to address up front scoring.
So, going into this year, everyone on this message board knew that the Flames would have to deal at least one of those guys.
And now it's February and neither guy has been dealt and the guy who consistently gets injured is injured...
I'm an idiot at a keyboard, this isn't rocket science.

So, do you believe none of this hasn't occurred to Treliving/hockey ops? You don't think they haven't weighed their options? I find that hard to believe. They're not fools just running amuck.
You passing judgment on something you don't really know enough about. The fact of the matter is after the Kadri deal fell through, you, nor I, know what offers or discussions were had regarding Brodie or Hamonic. we don't know if Treliving was receiving garbage offers, if other GMs wanted to see how their team started the year, or if the Flames wanted to wait and see how things turned out. There are likely a multitude of reasons they are where they are.
Your criticism is a little out of line. At least wait until the situation resolves itself, the deadline hasn't passed yet.
