Or they hopefully don't try to re-tool and just embrace the suck. If they trade Markstrom, Andersson, Sharangovich, and Kuzmenko they will be a bottom three team instead of a bottom ten team. Extra credit if they can trade Kadri for some value

That's been my fear with the philosophy the Flames have chosen. So far, Conroy didn't want to "retool," but was forced into it as all the UFAs last year still wanted out even with the new coaching regime. The other shoe could drop this year if Andersson, Sharangovich, Kuzmenko, Coleman, Kadri and even Huberdeau hate the suckage enough to want out as well.
Hopefully, Conroy lets it play out and makes deals around the seams and doesn't do anything desperate to bring in a big name that costs significant futures. He seems to be letting the team dictate his moves, but you never know.
