Raanta, Talbot (back when he went to EDM).... Basically we are in on everyone because Tre is always working the phones, so I think it gets blown out of proportion

so which unmotivated bottom dwelling team will muster up some sort of half assed effort to win tonight.
man..as bad as Monahan has been this year with him out of the line up our team really really sucks as opposed to just really sucks.
Not sure why Valimaki, Mackey, Phillips, Ruzicka arent playing.
Its not like Stone, Ritchie, Leivo, Nesterov are long term solutions and hell why not sit Gio/Tanev as well.
We didn't make the playoffs time to give the kids a chance.

Were we ever tied to Point? I don't recall Flames honing in on him like Panarin or Kucherov.
Flames weren't in on Barzal, they were in on Chabot, which makes the defence look about 1000000000x times better.
Without Point and Barzal, the centre depth is about as good as it is today; but those wings are insane. Like, repugnantly insane.
Do we have Tkachuk if we have Bishop? Or are you using Bishop trade 2.0 as the guideline?

Them winning the next 3-4 games is definitely happening though, don't kid yourself.
This team cannot get out of its own way... ever.
I think Point is more a he was still available when we picked in the 3rd round, so not a tied to but a what if.

Calgary kid, picked 15 spots after the Flames took Brandon Hickey. Should have been a Flame

Not really the same, but that draft was a disaster because Burke came in and basically imposed his size philosophy. Had Feaster or an independent Treliving been our GM, I don't see how Hunter Smith would have been taken with that draft pick. Maybe we don't take Point, but he was also a local guy with some pretty killer metrics. He does fit our drafting MO in every year outside of 2014 - the "Burke Draft"
What you're forgetting is that the Flames were picking 15th, and Barzal was projected to go 6th or 7th despite all the injuries he sustained in his draft year. So the rumours about the Flames were about players who'd be expected to be available.
Barzal falling to 15 (and ultimately 16) was something no one really saw coming. Even if Chabot was who they "expected" to take, that doesn't mean they'd have passed up a chance to take the WHL kid who was injured all year and had previously been discussed as a top three, top five pick.

What you’re also omitting is that Chabot was projected into the 20’s.
It would appear they were really focusing on the guy they wanted.
In reality, it just goes to show... make the damn pick. Don’t get too clever with it, just make the pick your scouts want, they’ve put in the work.

There is no easy fix for the Flames only opinions of how it could be done. Below is what I would try in no particular order except number 1.
1. Fire Treliving (hire Jim Rutherford) or another GM with experience. Let them hire their own management
2. Fire Jordan Sigalet ( been around a carousel of goalies with no success)
3. Allow Coach Sutter to arrange his coaching staff and meet with GM to discuss the type of team he wants to coach so that the GM gets the right players for the start of next season for Sutter to coach.
4. Do not mind bringing back David Rittich if unable to I would prefer a backup with NHL experience
5. If we struggle during the season I do not mind trading Johnny, Monny, or Chucky if the return is good. Not like we got with Iginla
6. Replace Amature Scout Tod Button ( Our farm system is lagging and he has not helped improve on it)
7. Try to find a number one defenseman to eventually replace Gio as he will be 39 next season and soon may be thinking of retirement. Not sure who to get
Players I would like to target cannot get all but at least one DOUGIE HAMILTON, RYAN NUGENT-HOPKINS, TAYLOR HALL, or BRANDON MONTOUR.
These are just my opinion let me know what you like and what changes you would make.

What does a defenseman have to do with Phillips?
And honestly, Phillips would clear waivers pretty easily IMO
Give me Phillips over Ritchie all day. There's no excuse.

In Conroy We Trust
I honestly would be fine with Phillips getting claimed so the prospects we have that never deserve a legitimate shot get it elsewhere.
Just play him.
Just play him.

The funny thing is that if Darryl embraced the rebuild and young players he would be the perfect coach. I don’t mind what he’s doing with Valimaki. It’s a motivation tactic and Valimaki got lots of minutes this year.
Not trying Phillips, Ruzicka and Mackey is just ridiculous though.
