Trading Rasmus at the deadline should have a negative effect. But I looked at the record at end of 2024 and they were .500 in their last ten games after trading half the team. In small samples, anything can happen especially with an injection of youth.
'm not ready to predict anything but this looks like a team working hard and getting solid goaltending. Some of the big underperformers have been picking it up lately.

I agree that we never know what to expect. But I am still of the gut feeling when all's said and done, Flames will still be drafting top 5 this season. Maybe that's wishful thinking on my part, but I don't feel any panic yet until they go on a 10 game heater lol.
At the end of the day, I'm with you. I do now subconsciously cheer for losses, even though before I was on the anti tank side. Maybe it's the Maloney thing that rubbed me the wrong way. I just really want the team performance to spell out to upper management that this team is clearly not good enough, and continuing to spin their wheels is the worst way to run this franchise. We have an opportunity to draft a high end guy, and we refuse to do so?
