The Flames should have tanked when Johnny left and Tkachuk expressed his desire to leave.
Instead of trading him for Weegar and Huberdeau, they should have traded him for multiple firsts. They should have kept Monahan instead of paying a first to move him.
Trade Andersson for a massive haul.
Trade Markstrom for a huge haul.
Trade Hanifin for a really solid haul.
Then at draft time, group some firsts together to move up the draft if they weren't already in the top 5.
I would sign up for an honest-to-goodness rebuild rather than watch this sad and tired group chase 8th.
