That level of commitment to mediocrity is actually kind of impressive.

Cmon....Hanifin, Lindholm, Tanev, Mangiapane, etc.. are all signed to bargain contracts. In fact, I'd argue the only bad contract on Calgary is Lucic. Even then, it's only two years.
You act like the Flames are like the Canucks, repeatedly signing guys like Myers, Eriksson, Sutter, etc...to bad contracts.
Calgary has lots of talent, the issues are that the team never seems to play well all at the same time, and the team buckles when the going gets tough. IMO if you were to take almost any of the individual personel and place them on a winning team, they would excel.
