But I have to admit its kind of amusing to watch Lindholm and Hanfin Glencross-ing themselves out of millions.

No.
People are mad and bitch because our management resisted the rebuild so hard when it was clearly necessary, and now our long term outlook is absolutely f****ed and we still suck right now.

If we had embraced the rebuild and we sucked it would be bearable and many less fans would complain. Funny to see you say this about other fans after you were staunchly anti-rebuild and it completely backfired
There is not only no hope of it getting better there is no plan. We spent all offseason trying to lock this roster up. Like what are we even doing. Thank God this roster is so bad we might accidentally get a high pick to start addressing the real issue on the team

How is that amusing? They're f***ing this team. We won't win with them playing that way. Nor can we get a good return.

That's amusing?

Treliving utterly destroyed this team for years to come
They wanted to EXTEND him
He left so they hired his Yes Man
Yes Man hired another bargain bin coach
Yes Man traded his leading scorer for a healthy scratch

And people are surprised when we dont see much hope going forward??
Literally why do you watch then? If literally every aspect of this team pisses you off, why would you spend a minute of your time watching, complaining and then continuing to watch?

You guys are getting what you want, this team stinks and if nothing changes will get a top 5 pick, still complain every single game, it's laughable.

Totally agreed lol. We legit might pull an Oilers and suck so badly without even trying to rebuild and somehow get ‘lucky’ with a high pick. Or at least that’s all I can hope for rn

So crazy, looked it up awhile ago . . . First, Curtis had really just 2 decent seasons with us (24 and 26 goals consecutively), and then after just 1 season in Washington, he retired at 32. Guy is just 40 still.

Not really. I want the top picks because its clear we have no top end talent on this roster but I also want most of these mfers gone.

Someone claimed that the Flames offered Lindy 8x$9m and he turned it down, which I find hard to believe, but if that's the case he probably cost him $20+ million by not signing. Hanifin will be fine, I don't think his value would change much.

Understandable (like I really don't want to watch Kadri for another 6 years), but if the results are what we want (ie. we get top picks with this roster) then this is clearly working because we suck.

Anyone see that Skyrizi commercial. I think that's the best pharmaceutical medication name I've ever encountered.

I'm bored.

Guys we should be happy that our franchise is going no where in the next 5+ years. We should be happy that we have absolute duds locked in long term. We should be happy we have ownership who bent over the city and has no desire to undergo a rebuild so we could actually be competitive team. We should be happy that our best young players don’t get opportunities to play meaningful roles.

Become real fans and support this trainwreck regardless!

This is the life of a Canadian hockey fan. The hope is just that it eventually ends one day.

I want an early Christmas present. A Coilers meltdown and classic collapse. Let's go!

It can, turn off the TV and get off your device. Voila.
If you can't find any enjoyment, don't watch.

No Sutter needed to go nobody wanted to play for him and more importantly he doesn't play rookies but Huska hasn't shown he is the answer

I prefer Sutter over Huska

At least you know he has a system and it works some time. What kind of hockey is this that we are watching now?

Also give Sutter some credit for figuring out Kadri and Huberdeau are ass
