Default So how many games do we win over the rest of the year?

With a team that is going to realize that not only is no help coming, but that this dressing room is going to become incredibly talent poor.

With the guy that is extremely popular in the dressing room and represented the heart beat of the franchise.

With the fear that the other axes are going to fall over the next week.

I'm guessing 4 wins maximum.

This is about to become the worst club in franchise history.

Maybe the Flames should contact TSN, SN and CBC and see if we can replace the Flames games with Heat games.

Hard to say.

Without any pressure, and the weight of the Iggy trade off their shoulders, they might just buy in, work hard and win more games than we think.

There's a lot to be said for buying in and working hard.....just look at the Sens.

Of course, they could go the way of the "Smyth-less" Oilers the year he was traded.

That was messy.

This team has rarely showed buy in and hard work especially on the road, I don't see how that's going to change now.

Maybe Kipper will wake up tomorrow, realize how bad this team is going to be and actually demand a trade.

We'll lose a lot, but there are still teams out there in the West crappier than us that we'll beat. Colorado and Edmonton specifically.

Columbus will probably win on Friday, then we've got 2 games against the Oil who we will surely beat.

Not sure how the rest of our schedule looks.

Duh, they'll win every home game, and lose every road game.

I'm too tired to check how many games of each they have left.

Being dummies, probably all of them.

Honestly, we'll probably win like four in a row. Teams tend to play better after a major change, happens with mid season coach firings a lot.

If we play at home until the end of the year? All of them.

We'll win enough to keep them out of a top 5 pick. However, it sounds like we're not done with moves, and since Feaster said they're not looking for roster players for young picks or prospects ... we're likely about to get pretty rustic pretty soon.

I think they'll be better without Jarome, but I expect they'll be losing a couple more names before the weekend's done, so that makes it a bit hard to predict at this point.

I'll say they go one game above .500 the rest of the way, unless they trade Bouwmeester, in which case I suspect they're pooched (although I'd support the trade, as I expect they'd garner a terrific return).

I think it depends if they go all in on the "not rebuild" and trade Bouwmeester too. I personally think they should. Teams interested will be trading higher first round pick, would guarantee very high Flames pick.

I am torn, part of me still wants them to make the playoffs and go on a nice little run on the road while continuing to tear it up at home.

But if we get a top five pick out of the rest of the season, I guess that would be okay. Would be nice to trade Jaybo to Philly for their first rounder, but that is crazy talk

depends how much Feaster guts the team like a trout. I hope the attendence suffers greatly. Then Edwards might not be so keen on Feaster and Weisbrod.

Everybody bands together after the loss of an icon, huge 10 game winning streak, starting with tonight's win. Sweep Chicago in the 1st round of the playoffs, beat Iggy and the Pens in game 7 of the finals.

This. So about 44% of games left.
