Honestly at this point the only guy in the room that deserves the “C” in my mind is Kadri, but he’s likely on his way out. There’s all types of captains in the NHL but hard working teams with no skill need a captain that drags you into the fight every game (Tkachuk style) not a soft aging captain who’s only vocal from time to time.
This team is soft as puppy poo.
No identify
No effort most nights
Lack of accountability across the entire roster not just young guys
Lack of skill is more and more evident when you’re losing and not scoring
Lack of top end forwards
12 bottom 6 forwards and one still needs to come back
I’ll echo they should have cleaned up the forward group going into the season, just too many bottom 6 wingers and now they have no identity.
Team really needs to find their direction fast, and that needs to be planning for the future not trying to save this season.

That is the direction though. When you are tanking and tearing it to the ground you have a lot of ####ty players. That is the situation the Flames are in. They knew they did not have enough good players and they did not get any help on the UFA market. The ownership does not want to have a competitive team, the GM does not want to have a competitive team, they don’t have a competitive team.
They have traded away almost all good assets for returns that provide them no assistance in the near term. They will likely more or less complete this process with tradable assets/salary cap requirements being taken into account in the next 100 days. This is a team that has been trying to lose for at least 18 months. They are now succeeding at it.
