You forgot that Tanev, Hanifin, and Zadorov were traded.
The reality is the Flames have been in a rebuild since 2023-24, they don’t want to call it a rebuild though, and they don’t want to tear down further than they have to.
I’ve seen a lot of spellings of Hanifin. Yours might be the worst
It’s almost like it’s all lip service and we should stop freaking out at what they say and watch their actions!
Like Friedman said yesterday, Maloney can say whatever in interviews but the reality is that the Flames are currently rebuilding. All of their moves are them rebuilding and the people in this sub need to simmer down just a little bit.
Our entire sub forgot about the fire sale we had last year.
If it was up to management, Lindholm, Hanifin AND Ras are signed to bloated 8 yr contracts. Let’s not act like they were proactive with any of this. If they were, Andersson would’ve been traded at the deadline last year. They’ve been forced into this rebuild whether they want it or not
Actions speak louder than words. Don can say whatever he wants but if they resign Ras and they don’t maximize on at least one additional veteran asset then people really should consider not going to games and buying merch.
Flames mgmt must be making good money. They’re significantly under cap and we’ve convinced them (due to last season) that fighting for a playoff spot with the current roster keeps seats filled and merch off the shelves.
I actually think they’ll move Ras as a rental. Best offer around the deadline. But they’ll be caught holding the bag on Kadri, Coleman, etc once their play takes a turn. Father Time is undefeated.
LOL @ the mention of kuzmenko in here like he was a significant piece and wasn’t traded for two *arguably better players
When tkachuk and Gaudreau left, the team had a chance to start a rebuild. They (treliving) chose to try and stay relevant and refuse to accept that it collapsed around them – and that’s what doomed the team.
It should have been an immediate rebuild. Tkachuk should have been dealt for picks and prospects not huberdold.
Instead, the flames finally manage to find a promising goalie and a handful of good prospects and completely squander them. Total disaster IMO.
