And that was exactly what I expected Tree to say. And does not save him from the growing lynch mob.

Fans may have wanted big change as they do when teams underperform , but you cannot go out and publicly proclaim you are going to make big changes and come up empty handed and expect a pat on the back for sticking to your guns on what you expect for a return.

A not so bold prediction:
Trade deadline, Flames are put of the playoff race, time to sell some expiring FA contracts, none move. Lose players to FA for nothing.

Booster posters defend inaction vehemently stating player x was going to re-sign any day now. Refuse to accept the ever cascading failure of the franchise.

End of the day, Tree is a dead zone GM now IMO. He's boxed himself in at the trade table.

Time to go. Bring in a new management group.
