This because I know this team isn’t built to go anywhere.

I’m not okay with UFA plugs wasting roster spots feeling sorry for themselves. Get rid or sit them, you’re paying them anyway yes I know, so why care where they play.

But yea I know the Flames historically won’t do the right thing, and I understand it’s a business but Craig has been very clear he’s looking for guys who want to be here and he has all the trust of ownership to do what he wants.
Yes, the inverse opposite of having leaders and winners to learn from is having too many tweener bums that have never figured out how to be important players on good teams, or even steady legitimate NHLers. We have a few too many of them. We don't want their influence on the kids.

I am OK with a rebuild and losing games - as long as they are hard fought and I get to see bright kids develop. I really think there are 3-4 Wranglers that should be here right now. I would much rather watch them than the UFAs even though I know we want to convert the UFAs to assets.
