Guess Flames are gonna do nothing, and lose Brodie for nothing, while not playing hockey past April this season.

Great GM'ing this team has.

The smart thing for Tre is to bargain shop. Get good deals on depth guys.

We all know this.

Some of you are just getting caught up in the trade deadline hysteria.

I don't think most of us are caught up in deadline hysteria, I think most of us are frustrated with Treliving's inability to execute and improve this team for a lengthy, lengthy period of time and not doing anything today will extend that futility into at least June.

Don't blame a GM when it's clear it's an issue coming from the top

Yup prudent thing for Tre to do is stand pat.

Calgary Flames, prudent for 40 years and counting.

So hard to be a fan right now.

Wasn't this the issue last season too where they needed multiple levels of approval before going ahead?

Team coaching issues

Plagued with injuries to prevent making trades
No direction or team identity
Beatdown by Oilers
Oilers ahead in standings
Oilers fans renewed hope
Draisatl leading league in points
Status quo again during trade deadline
I don't know.

This team has a rich history of mediocrity, and while this current iteration certainly has not deviated from that organizational ethos, I don't see this season as really standing out one way or the other in terms of disappointment. Pretty typical Flames season.

That is what held up the Zucker deal I believe.

I dunno, but so far it appears the number would have to start at -2.

I’m starting to wonder if this team has a very serious ownership problem.

Agree but at least there has been a glimpse of hope. Even the "cardiac kids" season or last season prior to playoffs, that was fun. I just don't feel like it's fun to be a fan right now.
