I've also heard both Dreger and Seravelli saying the Flames are going to be big game hunting in free agency. That shows how out to lunch our ownership still is on how to build a contender.

So we are now holding management responsible for doing things they didn’t do?
These are all good players. If the mutual was there, something may have happened. There was definitely a factor of what had happened with the team which was considered. I am sure the Flames made reasonable offers, but had their limits as to how far they would go. At the end of the day, they were traded, not walked to free agency. And the returns were not too shabby
Quite honestly, competently managing the hand you are dealt, and having discipline around asset management, and decent drafting - there is a freshness there if you want to see it
