Now we have a chance to avoid history repeating itself and people want to mortgage our already not great looking future.
Doing nothing is ballsy but could payoff if we have a deep run and re-sign both guys. Trading away picks/prospects, losing in the first/second round and letting Johnny/Chucky walk is completely suicidal and will cripple this franchise for another decade.
Where did the burn it down and rebuild crowd disappear to? Surely they haven’t just abandoned CP. More likely all it shows is that most people have hilariously short memories. Team losing, tear it down and rebuild. Team winning, go all in trade the future for a shot.

The Flames never traded Kipper. Did you mean Reg? Or keeping Kipper until he retired instead of moving him a couple years earlier?
