I'd argue no, mostly they've shown us they'll try to salvage at all costs because they value playoff gate revenue over long term rebuilding.
20+ years of mediocrity here, almost entirely made up of failed seasons with sprinkle of 1st round exits.
So yea, when Maloney goes on live air and says the west is up in the air and they think they have a real shot to make it, and anything can happen in the playoffs... it scares some of us.
Now add in his desire to look to resign some of the UFA's who have mentally checked out all season, its a real head scratcher.

I understand the PTSD behind this, but even if the Flames do end up making questionable decisions around the deadline it doesn't change the fact that this was just a figure head filling time on an intermission show.
if Conroy says something like that during a press conference prior to the deadline, yeah, worrisome.
