For short term satisfaction, sure - would make the next game more interesting.

But isn't it better that the organization is more focused on continuing to develop the players? Isn't it better to be patient and focus on making them better players in the future, when it will actually help the team?

Or is immediate gratification the only thing that matters?

Yeah I was a little pissy about the game last night but super frustrated that the veterans were the ones blowing it. As someone said up there Backlund and Coleman were excellent the game before. Aren’t the vets the ones that are supposed to be consistent though? That has certainly NOT been the case this year.

Well, if it was making team Canada that was on Weegar's mind and causing him to make these mistakes he can probably settle down now.

Vets want some rest and are playing to get scratched.

Vets in Calgary have been terrible since VCA started buying them up.

It would be very Flames to sell and as a result, get better and draft 14th or something.

You're going to live and die with the vets because they're the teams best players. Thankfully they're helping push the team in the right direction .
