The #18 pick was from New Jersey. I guess the Flames suck at tanking because the Devils made the playoffs?

In reality they are picking there because they are scared to actually tear it down.

The Rangers must suck at tanking, too, because they would have picked 6th and 13th before winning the lotteries in 2019 and 2020. But they actually sent out that letter announcing they were doing a rebuild. Oh, and they traded
eight veterans away, where the Flames only traded seven; so I guess that makes a really huge difference.
Weegar has a full NTC.

Andersson is an easy trade.

Sure, if you want to dump him for a second-round pick. If you want to get something of value, you have to negotiate a deal… and there is no point for any team to hurry up and make that deal until training camp starts.

Backlund and Coleman are tradable.

Backlund has a full NMC. Coleman has a 10-team trade list, and there have been no whispers of him getting any interest from teams on that list.

Does Kadri really want to stay if those guys are gone?
|
Those guys are not gone, so the question is silly.

Have the Flames even asked Kadri if he's willing to go anywhere?
|
Numerous reports have come out that they did indeed ask him and he is not willing to go anywhere except possibly the Leafs, who have nothing the Flames want, and the Habs, who don't want him.

The Flames will trade UFAs after they are forced to because that's easy but when it comes to making a minor tough decision they are scared. The Flames are never proactive and never bold.

That's why they traded their starting goalie away with two full years remaining on his contract, amirite?
You're batting .000 so far.
