Which is fair criticism, but also given the team's history - it's worth bringing into a conversation.
That was a bit of my baby sized rant on Friday though - we as fans are constantly okay with kicking the can down the road.
"There's 70 days till camp" we say, which comes after July 1st where we said teams sort their rosters out and then have an understanding of what players they'd want to acquire via trade, which comes after the team did nothing at the trade deadline because we were waiting for the NHL Entry Draft because that's when values would be their highest (they likely weren't).
Soon enough we'll be at camp and we'll be talking about "values will be highest at the trade deadline".
It's not unreasonable that Flames fans, given the state of the organization, are antsy for some things to actually get done when it comes to the roster. Although, I suppose we should start getting used to the fact that this organization isn't likely to make any significant changes and believe that the roster can win as-is. It really won't surprise me if Lindholm (and others) walk into free agency next summer, at which point the spin will be that the salary cap gained is an asset in and of itself.
