This isn't the same old plan in any form.

Honestly too, I think if the flames offered money a little sooner to Mangi, Hanifin and Lindy they all likely stay. It’s a good thing the flames got cold feet when they did, it’s pushed us fully into a rebuild while embracing the young talent that we had drafted while we had the core and it’s pretty incredible to see how many players have graduated, how the flames are playing and also how the wranglers are playing. With a new building on route I think the notion of players not wanting to play here is going to quietly subside, especially with Conroy consistently mentioning how he wants players that want to be here first and foremost. It’s a great time to be a flames fan and if you had told me that 2 years ago at the end of Huby’s first season with the Flames I wouldn’t have believed it for a second lol.
