It's easy to point out the grass is greener because of a few teams' rosters, but the fact is every team makes gambles and has contracts they'd rather not be stuck with.
At the end of the day pining over what New Jersey is doing is pretty pointless with how currently terrible they are.
The Flames have room to make a few improvements but this woe is us routine from a vocal minority of this board is getting really tiresome as of late.

What's the issue? You don't have to agree with me. There is no right or wrong answer, I'm just saying I was actually enjoying watching the youth in NJ and their energy as opposed to bracing myself for the worst here in Calgary when I see useless players like Glass or Brouwer hop over the boards. If I were constructing a team, that would be the direction I would go, but I'm not so the next best thing I can do is voice my opinion on here.

I thought it was pretty clear. The "I wish our management had the same attitude" comment seemed really self-deprecating when the current Flames management has done a great job in many facets building the present team, including our own youth that are currently playing in our top nine. On the same token, Jersey has been an awful team the last few years.
When I pointed that out you move the goalpost to suggesting the entire league is moving in a direction the Flames don't seemed to be. To which I pointed out every team rolls the dice with contracts and has players they'd rather move on from.
Sharing an opinion is fine, and so is disagreeing with one.

I mean the basis of your rebuttal was centered around
"You're wrong because NJ sucks"
And then I proceeded to use the Ducks and Oilers as an example and you really didn't have a response for me. Thanks for coming out, but my pov hasn't changed. I'm done discussing this

by pointing out they're currently one of the worst teams in the league was certainly off base.
I look forward to reading more about your suggestion the Flames are headed in the wrong direction from just about the entire league because of a few bad contracts in the bottom six. You can take comfort in the fact you're not alone. It's made for some riveting discussion when it's become the default talking point in just about every thread as of late.

Excellent contribution from a guy who talks down to everyone at once all the time. Guess I'm off the ignore list now, huh?

Drew Stafford and his 6 minutes would be our Brouwer.

Of note, JT Brown for Tampa had talked about taking a knee during the anthem potentially and received some pretty scary looking death threats on Twitter.
He didn't take a knee, but went with:

Leafs are going to be scary good this year. Easily the dark horse for the year, they have the Rangers under siege.

Preds' broadcast team is now pronouncing Aberg as "Ay-berg" rather than "Ah-berg," and it's really throwing me off

Ovechkin opens the season with back-to-back hat tricks.
