Dear Conroy and Murray, we'll stand behind a rebuild

Especially after hamstringing this team with some brutal contracts and then he just gets to peace out.

Yup, mishandles Guadreau and manages into this current mess and bounces lol

Treliving actually left the Flames in a great position for a rebuild with a ton of assets to flip. Maybe not his intention but not many rebuilding teams started off with the ammo the Flames currently have at their disposal. Will they use it, remains to be seen.

He sure did by handcuffing the team with a couple of ridiculous contracts

He also left us with a $10.5M 60-point winger who we're saddled with for another 8 years, now theres hope that he rebounds, but thats just 'hope.'

An expensive yet disinterested player on an expensive retirement contract for another 6 years in exchange for cap space, a 1st round pick and a heart and soul player.

And an expensive goalie on the wrong side of 30 who cant stop a Beach Ball for another 3 years.

All after letting our premiere player walk away for free.

You can claim that he left this team with assets to trade, but I'd contend that he left just as many Boat Anchors.

Wow, some amazing psychic powers you seem to expect him to have.

Huby had the 3rd most points in the entire NHL (behind only the two up north) in the 3 seasons prior to this past one. The team was putting all its chips into trying to win now, so the contract made sense. If the team wasn't in win-now mode, then it would have made sense to trade him. But they were.

Kadri is not a disinterested player. His point totals are down from the prior season, but that has a lot to do with not playing in the types of situations he played in during his time with the Avs.

Monahan can't stay healthy.

Marky seems to have done just fine for the first 2 seasons of the contract. You're expecting Tre in 2020 to somehow know that Marky was going to decline this rapidly in year 3 of the deal. I don't remember anyone on this board being upset with the signing at the time.

"Letting" Johnny walk away after doing literally everything in his power to keep him.

Tre had his faults, sure, but you're overstating things by quite a bit.

Talk is so cheap. Fans of a rebuild should put their money where their mouths and keyboards are. Save the excuses.

Buy/retain season tickets, tell your rep that you support a full rebuild. Attend the games, buy the beer, food and jerseys regardless of win/loss record in January. Call your rep mid-season and reinforce your support for the rebuild. Keep the paid attendance from falling.

Don't sell your tickets for $20.

Renew every spring, and tell your rep you still support the rebuild, even after 5 or 6 years without playoffs.

Social media and internet discussion blaming the owners, but they appear to be listening to the majority of their financially committed customers. That's smart business.

Maybe it's time for a larger portion of the well educated, hockey minded fans that are leaning scorched earth to step up and express their customer demand while supporting with actual purchases. Make the business case. Go in with friends for a group buy if its too many games.

Maybe ask the team to market a 6 year package with a little discount? Take advantage of monthly payment plan.

Support a rebuild with a financial commitment
