This will take time since we need to find star players; the hardest part.

And yet all of us will still be here, still supporting the team. I have actively tried to stop following or caring about the Flames but am a sad, weak person that cannot. I ultimately love them too much. I mean I kinda hate some things about them, and yet, love them too. It’s like being in an abusive relationship.
So if they take their time to go find the next Iginla, I’m totally AOK with it because I think you need those elite level stars to win cups. And in my life when I’m not like 3 years old and can’t appreciate or remember it I want these idiots to win a cup. And for this city. It would be amazing.
So they need to go through some tough times now and face the music. I think strategically capitalizing on Markstrom’s good season just makes so much sense. Sell high, do something different for a change.
I can see why the trade may not have happened yet, if Conroy thinks waiting ups the pressure or that he can squeeze more value by negotiating or holding off. But ultimately? I hope they move the player and just extract as much futures as possible here.
