This team needs a solid plan. If this team is thinking about off-loading even some of these UFAs they should be making signings to backfill them, because we do not have the organizational depth to backfill these six positions. They should have been taking advantage of the depressed UFA market and sign some of these guys to one or two years deals to provide some depth and then have additional players to move for assets at the deadline. Doing nothing does not help the situation the team is in. Having an actual plan where the team assumes control over the situation is where Flames will gain back some credibility. Doing nothing and giving control to the very players who want out is a failure and will only continue to do damage to the reputation of the club.

So for the saving future embarrassment, "what's the plan?"

Sometimes, doing nothing is the right decision.
