The Blueprint For a Calgary Flames Rebuild ft. James Johnson

The Calgary Flames have yet to choose a direction. The wait-and-see game has gone on and saved the Calgary Flames some money with Elias Lindholm but ultimately, these players are not getting any younger. James Johnson of The Win Column joins the show to discuss the blueprint for a Calgary Flames rebuild. Are there any untouchables on this current roster? What would it take to move on from a player like Jacob Markstrom? The Flames aren't contenders. You have to draft high to win. The Flames must figure out what they want to do before the trade deadline. Fans are getting tired of waiting. Fans are refusing to spend money on the team until things change. What makes a rebuild a successful rebuild? How have teams like the New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils and Nashville Predators rebuilt? Is there a rebuild or retool on the horizon? Which Flames player are you okay signing and who is okay to walk? James and Jess look at the bigger picture and talk about aging players like Rasmus Andersson or even Mackenzie Weegar.
