If the Flames get blown out in round 1, fans will be calling for a lot more than the GM's head. And there will be lots of questions about whether you pay your diminutive best player $11+ million for 8 years if you can't win in the playoffs with him making $7 million.
It's a hypothetical I would rather not think about. The GM assembled a good team with a good coach. Now we'll see how they handle the pressure of the playoffs and here's hoping we get a bounce or two. Feels like we're due.
