Do The Flames Have A Plan?

from Damien Cox of Ths Spin at the Toronto Star, It's really amazing how dumb the Calgary Flames have become. A lack of strategic thinking has the Flames in a terrible spot with a disappointing record, still trying to deny all the strong evidence that they need to take a giant step back and rebuild, hanging on to veteran players beyond their due date in some faint hope...

Calgary Flames sign Ryan O'Reilly to an offer sheet

The Ryan O'Reilly saga has been, in a word, odd. The Colorado Avalanche haven't exactly been forking over money for the forward's talents. The forward had 18 goals and 37 assists last season for the Avalanche, and had been expecting a bit of a payday. Even his father got into the mix, taking to Twitter to air his issues with the franchise (and misspelling it in the process...
