Francis also inferred that ownership is learning (i.e. wouldn't spend a lot on a coach before, now spending it on Sutter). He mentioned that they wouldn't retool/rebuild, but wondering if they are realizing now that the way to a Stanley Cup is through the draft (tanking).
Should be an interesting off season!

If they actually sell it off and tank, I'll be more excited as a Flames fan than I have been in a long, long time.
...and as angry as I can be on here, I get excited about almost every move they make because it's fun and entertaining.
But switching to a tank/rebuild model? Oh my...oh that would be exciting. I'd happily continue to pay for season tickets to support this direction. Have a fresh, young team developing together and a new hockey arena coming online hopefully around the same time the team turns a corner? Very cool.
