I just don't get the "sit on your hands in perpetuity" crowd who just excuses away the continual stagnation of this club with "maybe maybe maybe". Are people wanting a 100% slam dunk body of evidence before doing something? Because that's exceedingly rare.
This is two eras now, essentially back to back, where the Flames handcuff themselves with indecision and refusal to accept the reality on the ice while asset value erodes.

I think pretty much everyone wants changes but I have also accepted the fact that the Flames are not going to rebuild while Sutter is here. If they are going to try and contend then making a crappy trade just for the sake of change isn't go to do much.
Ideally it is Eichel or they rebuild but last thing I want to see is a repetition of the Phaneuf trade. Gaudreau's value won't change much between now and the deadline regardless now that he has hit NTC. No GM would have traded Monahan after his 82 point season either.
