We should just sign a sumo wrestler and plop him down in the net. He just has to sit there with his equipment on and take shots like a champ. Guaranteed we'd be getting shutouts every game. Problem solved.

If only there was a way to find out who built this team.

Not every player has to be traded in year one
They are not going to rebuild after spending all that money. At least not intentionally. They may be forced to because they are so bad

On a struggling, ####ty season with frequent poor efforts no less.
What did Pelletier do that Phillips didn’t? You’ll find your answer there. Hint, it wasn’t being small.

Can it even be done in your mind for Phillips? Not over a point per game to get a fair shot in the NHL, you need like 1.5 or 2 pts per game?
Is Logan Shaw being unfairly kept in the AHL? he has the same amount of points.

You are acting like the Flames have a sure fire top end player and are just keeping him out for spite. Like I said he cleared waivers this season, or at the TDL if someone really wanted him it wouldn't have taken much.

Nobody other than Flames fans thinks he will be top 6 NHL regular

Well, our point which you keep missing is that we’ll never know.

Also, you should think about my question. What would it take for you to give Phillips a legit shot?

You can’t answer that can you?

Also, Logan Shaw is 30 and did have a cup of coffee / chance in the NHL. We haven’t seen Phillips been given that chance.

He gets a chance when we are 10 points out.

What about the rest of the organization? You don’t see the entire team coasting like Kadri. Surely Sutter is the same to all of them. Except maybe Backlund, Lewis and Toffoli, who are doing what is expected out of them and he doesn’t need to.



The way Darryl has treated multiple players this year, he is a good example of the top graphic. Even Tanev, the consummate pro, is obviously sick of his crap tonight. You won’t get your players fighting the hard battles when you treat them like ass.

I wish it wasn't so painful to cheer for this team that refuses to take the time to build the right way.
The team was never meant to be this way. Last year was what the team was built as. Last year was the team's window to win. It was their year to go for it, and they did. They just didn't make it.

The team now is just built out of panicked recovery. The new signings were a hail Mary attempt to extend the window, not a vision of what the team was supposed to be.

You’re right. Sutter should get off the bench, lace em up and help pull that rope!

Backlund

Hanifin
Tanev
Zadorov
Kylington

All of these guys contracts are up next off-season and all are UFAs except Dube.

There is no way we can re-sign all these guys. We are already in cap trouble next season let alone thinking about re-signing all these contracts.

I thought this past off-season was the time to rebuild but it wasn't so. If they fail to see it again I really just don't know what to say about this organization other than they are run by some foolish people.

you're siding with a guy that said he would be in the Calder running and Ziggy.

He can have a chance I guess, he doesn't look like an NHLer to me...or any other NHL GM it seems

maybe you guys know better
