Overhaul could leave Flames unrecognizable

Shoulda done it five years ago.

It's 'let's play the Gm' time in Calgary.

agree ...
Harry, is there prospects in pipeline, who will be ready for next season?

Here's one thing I never understand:

"so an NHL-ready prospect has to be part of that package."

Exactly what is the benefit to any team to acquiring an aging guy who can realistically help propel your team for a year or two max, as opposed to keeping a "NHL-ready prospect" who could easily turn into the aging superstar minus the aging part in that same time-frame? Has a trade like that ever actually been made by someone with half a brain?

So then we can look for Iginla to be part of the "Irk Squad" next season?

exactly, as much as I have always liked Iggy, the Flames always way over-valued him. He is no longer the player he was & will only serve to improve a team, he will not be its star & will not carry that team. They had PLENTY of chances in the past to move Iggy & get a great return, but they always refused. At this point I couldn't imagine ANYBODY giving up for Iggy what the franchise seems to think he is worth.

From what I read before Feaster isn't into developing talent so I don't think there will be too may guys ready to come up.

Sad state of affairs

Please.

Iggy ain't that dumb. He has NMC.

Plus, to Burke's credit, he only does that for young guys. As evidenced by the fact that the Leafs' on-site daycare is populated by Leafs themselves.

Exactly. The time was 2 or 3 years ago. They're getting cap space and prospect/pick. And it's more than fair.

what, we'll se them in first place?

It's just not as much fun picking on the Flames like it is the Leafs.

Maybe Rome (Georgia)? The may have to play out doors the first year. Ice might be a problem.

I hope they start to do something right though. Harry deserves a break.
