The main reason Calgary isn't in the running for Dahlin is that they traded their first for Hamonic, lol.
They call that the Brian Burke special. Build a team that collapses when it counts with no first round pick.

As a Flames fan I don't find it delicious . . . But yeah, the irony is there considering he said something along the lines of "looked forward to backstopping a group that he didn't need to be perfect for night in and night out."
Lol, yeah. Calgary's offensive production was atrocious, particularly down the stretch.
He is not the GM... But appreciate your strong analysis.They call that the Brian Burke special. Build a team that collapses when it counts with no first round pick.
Atrocious special teams. Terrible bottom 6. Team relies heavily on 3 forwards, so if they have off-games, the team loses. The team's best goal scorer was playing through injuries that required 4 surgeries.I thought it was just a matter of goaltending? What’s the new excuse this year?

I think it has become easy to blame the goalies for Calgary but if anything I was amazed to read this stat. If you need your goalie to be perfect every night to win, that is not a recipe for success, and I think some major changes are needed in Calgary.
Also kind of funny or ironic giving his comments to start the year
Mike Smith quips he's excited to pass to players who 'can actually score'
What irony?
He chirped the Coyotes about not scoring and then lost a bunch of games due to the Flames not scoring.
It does not matter. Mike Smith is not stealing games and that is the difference of why they are not in the playoffs.Mike Smith

It wouldn't hurt for them to score more goalsIt does not matter. Mike Smith is not stealing games and that is the difference of why they are not in the playoffs.
Relying on 1 line + Tkachuk clearly wasn't enough.I thought Calgary could score though?
