I like what someone else coined it, an "ethical tank".
What we're excited for now is to see Connie embrace this year's most logical path forward - this "ethical tank". Time to make the cuts a bit deeper, and deal some veterans who have term so we can extract additional value and possibly speed up the process.

Since CC took over the Flames have:
Traded away 9 players, 1 prospect and 4 picks
Received in return 5 players, 6 prospects and 13 picks
They've also been hovering around the salary floor for two seasons now.
This is not a retool lol
I agree though, this terrible start will hopefully push them to deal Kadri and Coleman along with Ras this season at some point.
