Frank really hedging his bet with the 'that could change' part.

We might get our rebuild simply because players are going to force us into it

Sucks but this is the best thing for the franchise

I thought he “really, really” wanted to be captain.

Reports of Hanifin, Backlund, Lindholm, and Love all leaving or leaning towards not re-signing

If they actually decide to go young and rebuild the organizational depth this could all be good news. UFA market is awful this year so anyone who wants to improve almost has to do it through the trade market.

Feels like a lot of people are ready to get out of this org. Has this been brewing for a while or is this all reaction to how last year was allowed to play out. What’s going on there?

With all of this being made public, Flames become motivated sellers. Vultures are circling Conroy.

Trade them and wait around with capspace. Someone will either dump a free asset in your lap like Burns, Pacioretty, etc. or someone will pay through the teeth to park a contract with you like Monahan, Ghost, etc.

Getting draft capital and using capspace effectively is the clear way forward.
