The Calgary Flames have won two playoff series in the last 15 years. Is that what you want in a team? What are the Calgary Flames trying to accomplish with the "win and get in" approach? Will it take something like trading Rasmus Andersson or Nazem Kadri to open their eyes again? Craig Conroy has this long-term plan, but these short-term moves do not really align with a rebuilding team. Will he bring down the hammer or keep it a country club?

The Calgary Flames would easily be a bottom-10 team had it not been for Dustin Wolf's Calder Trophy season. Do the Flames even remember what the long-term plan is? It's not about winning and getting in. Craig Conroy wanted to assemble a winning roster. That takes time. The Flames recently signed Aydnar Suniev to an entry level contract and could see him make his NHL debut this year. Could the Flames also see Zayne Parekh before the season ends?
