Now we are royally screwed. A borderline playoff team with a remaining core group ready to compete now. Yet little hope of standing a chance with any of the top tier teams in the league. And with an elite winger who has us over a barrel who may jump ship in a year.
What a nightmare! Time to retool/rebuild.
BT if you persist with the delusion we can win a Cup with what is left here and what is in pipeline. I am out. Your next moves will define your tenure as GM and whether I renew my season tickets beyond this year (stuck with them for this year unfortunately). There is nothing more dissatisfying than supporting something with no vision or future.

This is so on point, literally nailed the situation. Unfortunately i have NO hope that Treliving figures this out. We are gonna be in the same situation with Tkachuk in a year. Honestly trade is the only option, i dont even want him re-signed, until this franchise improves at center we are never gonna compete. The gap between the colorados and the lightnings was exponential WITH Johnny, now its just colossal. Im exhausted of the constant toiling in mediocricy that is the calgary flames franchise. Build this team the right way like the Ottawas and Detroits. If it takes a few crappy seasons so be it, i just want hope that one day we might actually be a legitimate cup contender.
This roster gives me zero hope, and we dont exactly have a pipeline that suggests we will be in the future
