Your team still probably sucks and you are picking down with the conference finalists. Brad literally gave the Flames a gift, a real incentive to tank for a year to get a high pick. The decision on whether to try to tank next year could literally be worth 20+ positions in the first round.

It’s kind of ironic.
Treliving left Conroy with a love letter and many can’t seem to recognize or acknowledge that. When Treliving left, he left this team primed to enter a rebuild/retool more so than any other team in the league, I’d say.there were multiple UFA’s of value. Conroy was left with an hand full of chips at the poker table to cash in. He also, one could argue, exasperate Sutters dismissal by walking himself. Ding-dong the witch is dead. Many of the posters who could not wait to run Treliving out of town while simultaneously asking for a rebuild (for years) are now complaining about the state of the team. They’re getting what they wanted, for years, but evidently it’s not packaged in the way they want or it should have happened earlier or whatever.
Said it last week already, but some just need to have something to complain about incessantly.
