With Hartley.

It's been a while man. It's getting old.
You'd think if I was that obsessed with ousting bennett from the team that I would choose a more effective way of exerting pressure than posting on an unaffiliated message board.

Obviously, I hate Bennett.

Obviously.

Have wanted him off the team since after his very first season.

Hey, who is the author of this thread, I can't find my glasses:

What's the definition of a 'core' group?

What are some examples of it from successful and unsuccessful team?

Let's apply those answers to the Calgary Flames. CliffFletcher is not allowed to shake his fist while mumbling to himself about how the definition of a franchise player has changed. This isn't the discussion for that, so take it elsewhere.

'Core Player' as defined by Flash Walken is a player who likely has few peers in the league, has demonstrated value specifically to the Flames Organization and who has specific characteristics that can't be easily replaced in the trade market or free agency.

Based on that, Flash Walken's core looks like this:

Gaudreau
Brodie
Bennett

Thoughts?
