This is the most disappointing season since the 09-10 year that was supposed to be the moves that put the Flames over the top. Landing Brent Sutter as coach and adding Bouwmeester that team got off to such a good start. The huge losing streak and horrible Phaneuf trade while missing the playoffs and not having a 1st round pick was super painful. Iggy and Kipper were already in their 30’s and this was the beginning of 5 straight years missing the playoffs.
This year was pretty disappointing but while the Bennett trade stings it is not the same as the Phaneuf deal. Getting Sutter as a coach was a nice highlight but to perform so badly in an all Canadian division sure stung. The organization is in a far better position than the 09/10 team but a lot of work remains
