We're already a couple years into it.

18 players drafted the last two drafts, including four 1st rounders, three 2nd rounders and three 3rd rounders.

The rebuild started when CC took over.

These are “code” for thanks but no thanks…
But I know you know that, you just want to be difficult for some reason.
I won’t elaborate more.

That's normal hockey business. Did Tkachuk's teammates hate him? I'm sure he told them he was demanding a trade.

Who did you hear from that told you the players were mad at Andersson? A player? A spouse? A coach?

But he has every right to say he is not going to sign an extension if that is part of the trade condition (as rumored in the summer). I really don't feel like he screwed us here, unless I am missing something.

Isn't this more on the organization for not trading him at the last trade deadline, instead of chasing a miracle cup run?

I just appreciate the Flames have switched from doling medicine out as a suppository (last 3 years) to an IV (this year).

More efficient, less anal pain.

It's just so strange that you drop a bomb that says Andersson doesn't care, and he's the reason behind all this team's struggles, and then refuse to elaborate. It just doesn't match what I've seen from Andersson to this point, so I question it.

The blocked trade was a refusal to sign an extension with a new team, and not blocking a trade. He has a 6 team no trade. He can't block 25 other teams.

lol ridiculous. I would question if he fired Huska right now though. It doesn’t matter what coach this roster has for the next few years. Huska already got the best out of it last year.

It is probably a combination of losing, the coaching, the bounces etc.

You forgot to mention the Flames disturbingly low talent and skill level.

[JurassicTunga12]

I forgot what goals feel like

[gvitaly]

Good attempt by Kuznetsov.

…you made me think my feed was behind and that they scored…

[Rejean31]

We are officially the free spot on every teams Bingo card.

[3rd liner]

Big hook/interference on Klapka trying to forecheck there. Ref didn’t see it of course.

[BigThief]

Everyone Royle is saying is factual, unless they add that Andersson has quit on the team and doesn't care. You can be on the way out and still give a ####. He certainly gives more of a #### than 4 points -16 in 17 games McKenzie Weeger.

This is what bad really looks like, the room and morale isn't going to be good, we don't need to be making things up along the way however

Oh it’s more than just one guy, of course.
It would be very weak to use him as the excuse.

But that smoke didn’t go away like they claimed it would.
The bad start.
The accountability between veterans and rookies
The lineup decisions and constant changes

I’m interested to see how much is shown on the YouTube series, the amount of closed door “meetings” should be fun to see.

[dammage79]

Finally Coronato scores!!

[3rd liner]

If nothing else somebody run over Binnington.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Bison!

[getbak]

SCORONATO!!!

He's been due.

I have been told reliably that those additional picks and prospects the Flames have picked up do not count as a rebuild. They were efforts to continue to win, same old Flames.

[Burning Beard]

Finally Coronato gets one. He has looked ok in my opinion just snakebite.
