As someone who lived in Calgary for 15 years…. they are far from ok.
The flames will be way better than that 2 man team soon
The Flames are in good shape but we'll see if they get gifted four first overall picks like the Oilers.
As a Flames fan, I couldn't be happier with Conroy at the helm. It's gonna be a tough couple seasons, but I'm glad the team has a clear direction. Burn it to the ground, play the kids and rebuild. Two decades of mediocrity has got us nowhere
Draft picks are trade capitol right? So are prospects…true? The Flames always made the playoffs but to what end? Mucky middle? We were never going to challenge for the cup. This is the same thing in many ways what the Oil did, you guys should know all about this hell it was far worse for you. Three years is plenty of time to turn things around if done right and gaining all this "Trade capitol" is exactly how you position yourself for the near future. I think you are missing the point of what we are seeing going down in Calgary. We are seeing the new era of competent GMs with JJ and Conroy. Let Alberta take the lead in showing how to do things in the NHL!
"Draft picks are not guaranteed". Thanks for that awesome oily opinion .
As a flames fan I love the direction. Oilers had 4 first overall picks plus a third to get where the y are. We were tied of being on the bubble. Bring on the young boys like Sharangovich, Zary, etc. Remember the lowest pick flames ever had is 4th. We did a partial rebuilt many times without success. Bring it on! Go Flames Go!
You guys are right. However with Conroy doing things his way we will be a very good team in 3 years and in 5 years be competing for a cup. We will have draft capital and salary cap room to bring in those missing pieces to make a great team even better.
As a Flames fan, I would just like to thank the Oilers for creating the blueprint of how NOT to rebuild. Our rebuild will not take 10+ years (world's longest oil change), the NHL won't have to create new draft rules because of the Flames and we won't create a losing environment by not insulating our young stars with real NHL talent from the start.
Let’s face it. If the Oilers didn’t have McDavid the Oilers would probably be in the same boat as the Flames.
😂😂😂 calgary lames, they are only there if they continuously fluke, so why spend the money. 😂😂😂.

Interesting you listed 11 players gone there are actually a few more. But coming in Huberdeau, Kadri, Kuzmenko, Sharangovich, Zary, Coronato, Pelletier, Pospisil, Lomberg, Mantha, Weegar, Brzustewicz, Miromanov, Bahl, Pachal, Hanley, Cooley and Wolf. But perhaps more importantly combining this years draft and the next 2 we will have drafted 6 1st's 5 2nd's and 5 3rd's. Then on top of that we still have 20 million dollars of cap space which means we could add 2-4 more good players. Like Draisaitl and Marner. So no they don't plan on being good next year or maybe the year after but they have all kinds of time to turn this around at 3 times the speed the oilers did it without sucking for 10 years in a row. What I'm most excited about is Trevling and Sutter being gone and not having 5 of the bottom six filled up with 35 year old 4th liners because Sutter didn't trust any player under 30. We finally get to develop our prospects that being Coronato, Pelletier, Zary, Pospisil, Wolf, Solovyov, Kuznetsov, Brzustewicz and Grushnikov. We don't need even 1/2 of those players to make the team and if one forward is a 1st line player and 1 defensemen is 1st line then with the cap space and the current roster we will be fine.
In fact my prediction is when we get to the new arena your team will be going down and ours will be rising. I could be wrong if you can sign Draisaitl to under 14 million and McDavid to under 20% of the cap hit which might mean a 19 million cap hit. We really only have 1 player who is overpaid and that's Huberdeau.
Let me just add Edmonton's window is 2 years and you've had Draisitl for what 8 years now and this was the first year you even had a sniff. I'm not convinced because Toronto has 4 top end forwards and what happened there…no money for defense or goaltending….following the Toronto model seems like a bad idea… I thought for sure you would have figured it out but instead you spend the new cap space on more forwards, now your over the cap and looking to downgrade the defense to get back under…hilarious.
One more point of interest the 10 players you mentioned (not counting Markstrom) got 167 goals this year and counting just ten of the new players I mentioned they only got 167 goals this year. So that's a net difference of 0.
One more point of difference average age of the players who are gone 29.63 average age of the 11 players I'm comparing 26.72 that's almost 3 years younger so next year how would you like to bet we are ahead of the other group.
Asa Flames fan I'm just happy to see some young players make the team for a change. But this rebuild will take at least 5 years minimum.
We're in a rebuild
The rebuild was overdue
Rebuild will take 3 to 5 years it needs to happen and I'm excited
Our rebuild will be faster than edm
Conroy is doing great so far
If a rebuild is needed do it right
