Instead Sutter weaved his magic, we had a bunch of career seasons, won the division, won a playoff round all as a surprise to me honestly.
But this core always needed to change.
Part of me wishes they would have just moved on earlier and recouped assets, but then I wouldn't have had that game 7 overtime celebration with my 20 year old son.
But either way we are clearly getting some change now, and likely a lot of it if Tkachuk isn't coming back.
I think Gaudreau made some mistakes and disappointed the club and probably his agent, but I'm with those that don't see malice, but more just a confused emotional guy.
Time will go by and he'll be a former Flame with some nice numbers and the anger will dissipate.
Having said all that I get the hurt feelings from Flames fans. You're supposed to invest, so you're allowed to be upset. Just keep it classy.
I like change ... we're getting it!

Problem is Bingo that the people putting the team together certainly don’t agree that the core needs to change. They were all in, and then some on the core of the team. Especially if it’s true they were offering JG the captaincy.
I’m good with change too but think I’m at the point where I want to see a clear new direction for the team. Not reacting and plugging gaps.
