The doom and gloom and unhappiness about not actively trying to lose is weird.

I don’t think it’s weird at all. The Flames aren’t a good team and have nothing in the pipeline that will change their fortunes. They need a couple young centres with #1 upside and best way to do that is by picking in the top 3. Keeping Markstrom and going from a 3rd overall to a 8th overall is dumb and has an outside chance of handing Montreal a pick in the 11th-15th overall range.
