No. But let’s plan for some serious LTIR abuse.

It's obvious Gaudreau will leave Calgary, why would he stay when he can make more $$$ and be closer to his family?

Tkachuk is who The Flames need to build around, but same deal - another american kid who i believe would prefer to play in the States

I'll eat my pubes in Johnny re-signs in Calgary - I think a Cup run would've made a difference but it's same old same old Calgary Flames disappointment. I'm honestly more annoyed about this series then The Suns dick punching in Game 7 to the Mavs. WTF is up with Markstrom?

Just quickly bumping this so the guarantee isn’t missed by the masses.

With Darryl as coach, I don't see how this team will tank. Even if Gaudreau leaves and we trade Tkachuk for a good return, this is still at least a 90 point team.

Unless you are Timbit there is NO WAY anyone should wish Gaudreau off this team!

Flames would try and tank, get screwed by the lottery, and get the 4th pick which would then be another Bennett lol

As I said in the other tank thread: this team isn’t tanking with Sutter behind the bench

The problem with trying to blow it up is you do all that for maybe 10-15% chance. What if you don't win, then what?

Blame the league for rigging it. Repeat.

Jeez, probably a top 3 flames season in the last 20 years and CP wants to blow it up?? Take a week and use your brains..

Sure if we are unable to bring our 2 100 point players back, then yea rebuild, but do everything you can to bring them back. We have lindholm and our 3 best dman locked up for a few more seasons with sweetheart deals, toffoli, coleman and backs on good deals. A decent pipeline of forward prospects and solid goaltending for what looks like a decade.

Only 1 team wins it every year, we were one of the last 8 and underperformed in the second round. Yea we lost to our rivals, Mcdavid did Mcdavid things and Mike Smith was better than Markstrom. It sucks but let's blow it up because we just had our most successful season since 04, seems a little much... no?

Not only that, but even if they do manage to out suck every team in the league there is still a huge chance someone leap frogs them and steals Bedard.

My Flames fandom doesn't feel lucky enough at all.

Even if we tanked (which we wont) based on everything thus far for this franchise, we wouldn't win the Bedard sweepstakes anyway.

Arizona, Detroit, Buffalo, Columbus, Seattle, and Ottawa will probably all be bad next year.

Really I'm not sure there is a path for the Flames to tank and be worse than those teams to be in the Bedard sweepstakes.

We finished first in our division, and made the second round of the playoffs. Our farm team looks to be poised to sweep their second straight series and were one of the top teams in the AHL, mostly with young players and not veterans.

Honestly a re-build / tank isn't feasible or possible at this time.

Hard to blame it on a young guy with the lowest paycheck. This was all on the superstars, no one else.
