Now they got rid of Strome (rumoured), Hagel and DeBrincat and will likely actually finish at the bottom instead.
I also liked that the year they "sucked" they had 55 points in 56 games. The Flames had 55 points in 56 games and they went for it...

What are you talking about? Chicago was going for it with the
Jones trade when no one thought it was a good idea and it blew up in their face. They lost a big chunk of youth and draft capital and really have no choice. The Flames had a bad covid year but had pieces they believed in and picked up a goalie they thought could be a difference maker. Not wrong, in my view. I get why Chicago sold high on Hagel (to a lesser extent on DeBrincat), but the Flames would really need to undo a lot to get to a tanking scenario.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
