Calgary needs to cut their losses. I’ve been vocal about going all in with Tkachuk and Gaudreau for as long as I can remember, but guess what? Flames were dealt a terrible hand.
Both guys are gone and they are now left with a middling team. Not good enough to win anything, not bad enough to draft anyone special.
It’s literally a worst case scenario right now. To me, running it back and trying to compete this season after losing your two best players is misguided at best and detrimental to your franchise at worst.
Time to accumulate all of the draft picks and prospects that you can. There are no quick fixes here.
