If Brad re-ups with the Flames he will have gained my respect. He's staring at a team that has locker room issues, head coach issues, and goaltending issues. The GM is tasked with fixing that and the easy thing for him to do would be to pull the chute and move on to greener pastures and I do believe he will land on his feet quickly. Do you keep the coach that just signed an extension that's been at odds with the roster makeup (thinly veiled shots at GM) since the day he was brought in and a guy that's not exactly a collaborator in a team environment? Where to start with the goaltending? Can you afford to bring both of these guys back and if not how do you go about unloading one of them if there's a market? How do you deal with the two new forwards that have underachieved? Brad or whomever the GM may be is going to have a hell of a lot on his plate this summer.
