It's funny that Flames organization doesn't want say "rebuild" but everybody else know that the Flames is rebuilding.
I hope the hockey god let us win the lottery at least once.

the really frustrating thing is that they had to be dragged into it kicking and screaming. When Gaudreau went to UFA and Tkachuk wanted out, that was the point to tap out and start the process. I get that was difficult with a coach like Sutter and after a really good regular season, but it would have made sense. Instead, Treliving went into a different direction with the Tkachuk trade and, unforgiveably, the Monahan trade and Kadri signing. It just ended up delaying the inevitable, thanks to all the pending UFAs tying their hands by not re-signing ... but we should have started the process earlier than it happened. The Flames are rebuilding because they have absolutely no other choice and I'm glad it finally happens, but they should have been proactive about it.
