Sorry to be so negative but its how i feel. I've been following the Flames since the day they arrived in Calgary.
This is such a Flame thing to do and I expected no less honestly. That tells you all you need to know about the upcoming season. Mgmnt is scared to commit to anyone based on the Covid uncertainty.
He is just a caretaker coach until things settle. Expect mediocrity and "let's see what happens in the playoffs" mentality. No Flames owner wants to commit to winning right now or scorching the team in order to rebuild. Let's just be good enough to keep the fans coming back.
I bet we see basically the same team next year with minor peripheral changes.
Our owners and Mngmt lack the intestinal fortitude to win to be honest. GMBT is just towing the company line and following the directions given to him. He will only make conservative moves.
Not unexpected. I would put Geoff Ward in the same category as a Don Hay or Gulutzan. In other words do not expect a cup any time soon.
