Now the #flames accept the rebuild knowing the kid sitting at the top of the rankings at actually wants to be in Calgary… with a local kid (and other “gold star” prospects) sitting at the top of the next one.
The notion that fans simply don’t understand if you trade valuable assets you’re likely to be bad next year is so insulting. No shit that’s the whole idea, I’m convinced I could walk into like 60% of head offices in the league with no experience and do a better job running a team
“What the fans don't get is that we have a team next year that we have to put on the ice, and what happens if some of these younger players aren't quite ready? And then you're, you know, you're the 32nd place team next year.”
B2B top 3 picks? Who could possibly want that! 🙄
"No one has an appetite to just burn it to the studs..."
In a wide-ranging interview with @EricFrancis, Flames president Don Maloney says the team isn't giving up on this season yet. https://t.co/I5oyS1KVui
@CofRedCentral@kevole Well for one, ownership would probably take that as proof that the fanbase won’t tolerate the team being bad and push Conroy to try and get in at all costs
@Scottos_@miketgould Yeah hence the OZS. Could help to pump his numbers up and increase his trade value to clear spots for some prospects coming up.
Also not team tank but I don’t give a shit if they win. Play the piss out of the kids, maybe get a chance at McKenna and that’s a good year in my book
