I'm as pessimistic as I've ever been about the organization. The way things have gone down with Tre, Sutter, the old stars leaving, the toxic environment this year, and even the stuff with the previous arena deal, I find the organization kind of unlikable. It looks like a mess, and with a key part of the problem likely being the ownership my expectations of things ever being radically different are low. The team may bounce back next season with some players returning to form and some youth breaking out, but I'm not seeing a lot in the organization's leadership that makes me want to support the Flames as a brand. As a brand, the Flames don't stand for much of anything positive to me at this point.
