The consensus of this board, so far as there is one, is that the fans are too angry to continue watching the games, they are going to leave, and it's management's job to throw out or smash all the team's assets to the point where the whole franchise is broken and unusable. People are actually saying the Flames would be better off for making bad trades because it will make them worse and force a rebuild. This is an insane reaction, but it's a mass insanity and feeds off the emotions of the mob.
That's nice, up to the point where you start calling on a new GM to do the stupid things CP wants – to break the team even worse in the name of fixing it. Most of the proposals I see on here are truly asinine.
No, trading away all the good players for other people's junk is. And that is exactly what large numbers of people on CP are openly advocating. They repeat over and over that the team is so bad it can't possibly get any worse. I would love to see them get their way – but there won't be any Calgary Flames in another decade if they do, because the franchise will not survive without fans and the fans won't buy tickets to a team that gets maybe 50 points in a good year.
The people throwing tantrums because the Flames are not going into a rebuild have no idea how bad things can get. It would be most amusing to watch them find out.

Umm.. Nice rant and I do agree with a lot of your views
But I do have difficulty connecting it to the sarcastic statement about firing the GM so a new one who hasn’t made the same mistakes to learn from. Which was pretty much the main point of the post I responded to
I will remark that a mistake to be learned from is the Phaneuf for quantity trade. The current GM is sitting on assets devalued on his watch and I also don’t want to see him lose any trades out of desperation and drive the franchise further in the ditch than he has already
