Keep Johnny, Chucky, Lindy, Markstrom and Andersson. I'd keep Lucic too since he has more heart in his pinky than most of the guys on this team.
At this point I'd call Bob Hartley too and see if he wants to come back because flames are still dumping and chasing and at least his method worked.
Please flames do us a favour and miss the playoffs it's not worth it to get to the dance only to collapse once again.

The Flames aren’t dumping and chasing. I wish they would commit to a dump and chase and work at it hard.
And Hartley’s method worked in one year where they Flames were continually outshot and the next year they reverted to the norm (and yes, goaltending wasn’t good).
