Or...they could just give their customers what they want. A young exciting team.
The city is paying half of an arena, the club is cap maxed despite being mediocre and the Calgary flames region keeps growing in population with no chance of another team or pro sport to compete for entertainment dollars.
Even better my proposal is cheaper on the operating budget as part of it is to cap the team $10-15m under the salary cap so we pay our stars top dollar, but stop spending money on late 20s players to fill roles and build those roles through mid round picks. If we're top 5 in GF/GA then we can spend to the cap to go for it and deal picks.
Plenty of fanbases have risen up and demanded change. Why not us?
