1. There’s probably WAY MORE lurkers than there are posters- it’s not like this place is overly welcome to counter opinions

3. Of the small subset that do come around CP, there’s a huge other contingent of Flames fans that absolutely will share the opinions of those in this thread asking the organization to just be honest about the rebuild.
I could go on but this isn’t just some small niche group of blindly loyal Flames fans. I bet you the opinions spouted here are way more representative of the overall fanbase.
I haven’t followed the Flames much or passionately this year not because they are bad, but because nothing is new. They have not publicly stated they’re going in a new direction and I can’t support that anymore. IMO it’s put up or shut up time. Announce you’re in a ####ing rebuild. It’s not that hard. It’s become beyond idiotic not to.
I had a beer with a guy yesterday who knows a Flames management person. They literally could get fired for saying rebuild or Gavin McKenna. Nobody is allowed. How stupid is that?
Last- anyone that has done business with CNRL knows exactly what management of this team is up against. It’s not good. He approves absolutely everything. There’s no autonomy when it comes to having Edwards as your boss. The folks at CNQ can’t buy a section of land without him knowing for Christ sakes. So there’s not a god damn chance in hell that multimillion dollar assets (players) are being traded without his approval. Zero. He’s the one causing all of this mess. All of it.

I don't doubt Edwards reach, and that Bingo isn't even once-removed.
