Maybe just maybe you shouldn’t try so hard to keep players that are always unhappy no matter what happens.

Now that the band-aid has been ripped off and all
The things that could have gone wrong, have. It’s really starting to expose the mismanagement of the team. Having that many contracts expiring in the same year is rough. Especially when you remember that tre could have signed chuky years prior. Signing huberdeau to that contract was beyond pushing your chips all in. The guy hadn’t even played one game and Tre threw everything at him. I’m not saying I don’t like huby I’m certain he’s a fantastic player, but how the hell are we supposed to know how he’ll fit. Instead it looks like these new comers have created some real toxicity within the room somehow. To the point where literally everyone walked. All for what? To try and replace a team that got bounced in the second round?
Retro is right. We have to build this team with players that see the flaming C as legendary. That feel pride for Calgary. They don’t have to be Canadian players per say, but this next flames team has got to learn and grow together. Build real chemistry, with players that are hungry to one day get that fat contract.
I can think of no better group than Connie with iggy and savard. These guys might not be as abrasive as retro but let’s not pretend like these guys don’t share similar minds on what they’re seeing
Yeah nah. This isn’t on the players. This org has been mired in mediocrity, poor management and coaching decisions(aside from possibly Tre), and an owner who clearly doesn’t give a shit about winning the cup so long as he gets a new arena.
Bad take from Rhett here. I don’t blame players for wanting out.
He’s right that we should have torn it down sooner though, the entire organization needs an overhaul. A hard rebuild is needed, likely a few truly awful years while we accumulate some talent and Wolf gets some years under him.
Hopefully Conroy and Iggy can help with instilling a culture of excellence, but I’m fairly jaded at this point. Imo Edwards is the real problem.
