They were pretty unfortunate
Should've test-drove Huby and Weegar before flashing the cash

Looking at this team critically, it doesn’t have the pieces to be anywhere near a championship quality team. It doesn’t have the foundation of a champion.
The only path forward after Gaudreau and Tkachuk bailed was rebuilding (and even with Gaudreau/Tkachuk the team wasn’t a championship quality team).
The Flames need to rebuild. They tried to stay relevant, but they failed. The team is nowhere near championship quality, so the quicker they pivot the better off they’ll be.
