Well guys. I realize the season is barely over, but for us Flames Fans we'll have to cheer for another team during the current playoff run. After numerous years of playoff hockey in Calgary, I'll admit it feels a little odd watching someone else in the big dance, right from the onset.
If some of the pundits are right, we may be about to experience some rebuilding years in Calgary. We had our issues scoring, there were troubles buying into Brent Sutter's coaching style, and we're a bit aging. That being said, what do you think will happen this coming off-season? Who will stay? Who will go? I for one think big changes are incoming in Calgary, with a few big names being traded before/on RFA signing day. I have a feeling the owners are fed up with Daryl Sutter's knee-jerk player transactions, and will show him the door. I like Brent Sutter's style of hockey, and would like to see him around for one more year before making a decision. Conroy will most likely be out the door, and I'm still undecided as to Iginla staying. Kotalik, Mayers, and Higgins will most likely be used as trade bait.
Now that I'm done school in BC, I'll have a chance to see more games and I hope to see all the regulars back in this thread like prior years. And thanks Mac_82 for allowing me the honours
