Who cares, it’s in the past and we didn’t win with them anyway. Let’s look forward to our next five year period of drafting, starting this year with hopefully multiple top 10 picks to build around.

I wish Johnny all the best in Columbus
And by best I mean his career high 74 points as a Blue Jacket never to come remotely close to again

Fox was traded away for Hamilton, so kinda misleading

Fuck I miss the Trio of Mony, Johnny and Chucky.

I still stand by the claim that the mistake was thinking we were a playoff team after that lucky 2015 playoff run.
In my opinion, you shouldn’t consider yourself a playoff team until you’ve made the playoffs in two consecutive seasons, and you shouldn’t consider yourself a contender until you’ve won a playoff round in two consecutive seasons. Making the playoffs once should have been an indicator that we could win a cup in the next 5 to 7 years if we played our cards right.
If you’re 5 to 7 years away from your cup run you probably aren’t going to sign Troy Brouwer or trade for Travis Hamonic, and you’re probably going to focus on developing internally for another few years. So much of what the team lacked could have likely been acquired through the draft, or if we didn’t have bad contracts or buyouts taking up cap space.

Fox refused to play for us.
Bennett never played this well in Calgary consistently.
Gaudreau chose not to sign after stringing us along.
At least Tkachuk gave us a chance to trade him for something and I can respect that.
Monahan gave his all for the team in effort, injuries, and the only consistent playoff producer (led the team in production all three times he played, Bennett tied once). He’s the only one I truly miss.

Being a flames can is pain
