In my opinion this has been probably the most frustrating and discouraging 365 days as a Flames fan ever. We have gone from winning our division, one of our best regular seasons ever, a playoff series win (which is a telling milestone), to losing to the Oilers, to losing our best players, to this god awful season, to core pieces saying they're not happy to be here, to seeing our GM choose to leave, to our coach being fired. There has to be a complete shift in organizational philosophy and it has to happen now. I know we all love Backs, and Lindholm, but the time is now to move on from these guys and just start over from top to bottom. Maximize the return on guys with one year left. Get draft picks, let's move into this new building with a new found sense of purpose and a cultural shift. The opportunity is literally staring this organization in the face, it has never been this obvious to completely tear it all down.

Yes dude. This sums up exactly what I was thinking. So much turmoil, and at the end we have a lame duck GM with no direction.
Clearing house was the only option.
I’m a big believer in resets. Let’s reset and chart a new course. I say tank and rebuild for the new arena.
