The team is handcuffed by bad contracts and any good young players like Lindholm or Hanifin are likely going to want to leave the first chance they get just like Tkachuk. This organizations lack of foresight is insane.

Yep, there is no plan for long term success in the Flames organization, and there hasn't been for over 30 years. I have zero animosity towards players opting out of that and looking out for themselves
