Even if flames make the playoffs on the 4th seed , they would get blown out by Toronto. I like Tre a lot but he hitched his wagon to the wrong horse. I have no doubt in my mind that both will be shown the door at end of season . Owners during financial losses let him spend to the cap and the results aren’t good .
I know a lot of posters would like to see Conroy as next Gm but I think they need someone from outside the organization to look at this group. Also I would be scared that conroy would share the same vision as his mentor Tre when it comes to hiring inexperience coaches.
I’m also not happy with the players that told Tkachuk to settle down. His play hasn’t been good and if you take the pest factor out of him , he becomes sorta useless . Look no further than last nights game in the battle of Alberta . Didn’t see Mathew try anything last night . That’s not the tkachuk way.

Sutter has said he’d come back to coach a team in Alberta...
Not my preferred choice but I bet you he’d come back on a short term deal and you would get around the quarantine issues since he’s likely just sitting on the farm in Red Deer.
