Maybe it’s a problem with how Sutter/Treliving put together their training camp?
Flames screwed up with Valimaki and lost a recent(ish) 1st round pick for nothing, and kept a player who doesn’t appear to be an NHL’er.
Chalk this one up to a player and coach not getting along, and move on - but it still sucks.

Amazing to me how people want to grind out the most minor of decisions.
He was bad in the NHL in 21/22, he was terrible in the AHL in 21/22 and he was terrible in camp this year. Add in the higher contract and the Flames wanting to acrue space for the deadline and it was the right call at the time.
Navel gazing this one is just looking to be upset about things.
