Rather than signalling "everything is fine", the lack of deals may simply mean "the long term cost was too much for a short term gain". I believe that is most likely the case for the Flames.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
