When chuckle and John left I thought the flames were in an excellent position for a rebuild this year with a strong draft coming up. They could have traded lindy, mangi, markstrom, hanifin. Taken on some bad contracts then made out like a bandit at the draft. Then the trade happened and they were full tilt on going for it. Too bad things have not worked out so far.
But I still wish they would have went for a rebuild or retooled for a couple years.
