Rebuild is required this feels like a long road nowhere. The management, owners, players with LT contracts are not looking for a tear down. The right answer is rebuild but you are not getting to the right answer for a long time. This will be ugly for a long time.

None of them drive to or stand in front of the net. This is peewee level stuff. No Sutter needed.

They should bring guys up for a look and see, should get more effort from guys who want to make the team.

Valimaki is really an average dman. Should be a solid 5/6 guy for a many years.

Aside from being cheaper, what do people like about Lindholm versus the other top players? I don’t see much.

It’ll only be ugly as long as you delay it. If they start a rebuild I’d be pumped to follow along. I wouldn’t expect wins I’d just be excited to follow awesome new prospects. This bull#### I can’t support. Lazy disinterested won’t even try? No, GTFO.

But rebuilds don’t have to be long drawn out processes. The Senators for example, even just today from the beginning of the year already look vastly improved. By next year at this time they’ll be pushing for a playoff spot.

I’d much rather follow a team that is on that type of trajectory starting at the bottom than watch laziness screw around for years.

This organization should just publicly commit to a rebuild and get after it.

Anything would be better than being fed a steady diet of this crap.

Yeah, his first "full" rookie season has certainly not been a strong one.

They are not trying. It’s obvious.

Monahan doing the little things, giving the puck away directly to the opposition.

Flames are bad at passing, skating, shooting, going to the net, breaking up the ice. Otherwise doing well.

But we'll be able to tell our grandkids that we were there to see Filip Gustavsson start his decade of dominance not seen since Hasek.

Now do the guy who fed him the pass on to be on his backhand covered by two guys.
