The whole front office is terrified of becoming a joke franchise. That fear was behind the decision to immediately reload with Huberdeau and Kadri after Gaudreau and Tkachuk walked rather than rebuild; the narrative that nobody wanted to play here had to be changed. The overriding culture of the Calgary Flames organization is loss-aversion.

In your opinion.
