I've stated this a couple times but teams rarely plan on being bad, and generally you get your high picks by leaning into being terrible when you have a bad season.
TBH the Flames tough schedule the first 27 or so games this season actually potentially provides that opportunity to lean into a bad season if they can't turn it around here.
And that's the big thing. If the Flames are in 30th place on December 1st they shouldn't do anything to try to "salvage" the season. That would be the worst thing they can do.
If you're in 30th at that time you need to do the opposite. Be more pro-active moving guys like Andersson and Coleman and lean into a bad season.

I can agree with this. The panic level after 5 games and the "told you so's" are crazy. 1-4 can easily be .500 very quickly. 1-4 happens any time later in the season and it is a mild concern.
