			At least Calgary will host some playoff games. Go Wranglers Go! 
Anyway I still hope Flames will go 9-0 run. 97 points. Go Flames Go!

Yes, and they have to do it.
 
With a team so dysfunctional you can't afford to let that bleed into another season. Can't happen.

You don't go from 115 points to 50ish because of coaching.  The dude just has no heart.  He got paid and is just mailing it in now.

He's been out there many times this season in similar situations. 
At some point, being the $84M guy doesn't guarantee you those minutes without performance. 
He has had enough opportunity to prove he should be out there.
 
Frank just smells trouble in the Sutter waters and found a way to insert himself into the discussion like the buttplug he is.

I feel like this is a pretty bold claim when Johnny Gaudreau went from 99 in 82 to 58 in 70 under different coaches
 
Ralph Krueger almost turned Jeff Skinner into an AHLer.

Speaking of Gaudreau
 
115 points and +64 last year 
65 points and -26 right now
 
guys do have massive drop offs in the wrong situation

Let all the free agents go except for Stetcher (if he wants to stay)
 
And play Pelletier, Zary and Coronato up full time. 
 
Trade Vladar for picks and get Wolf in as the 1B.
 
Sutter... out to pasture.

Yep, and it has been that way all season. A team that can't win more than they lose is a team that wouldn't do anything even if they squeaked into the playoffs anyways.

can't really count 3 on 3 and SO losses towards how they would potentially do in the playoffs
