Welcome to the unemployment line, Jay…because that is where you are going after one or two more mediocre seasons in Calgary.

Rebuilds are depressing. So it’s understandable if the organization don’t want to go that route and “give up” hope for the season(s) while that takes place. Fair enough. How about meeting half way? The Flames don’t need to pursue a total gut job but why not let a few key assets (i.e., veterans) go in return for some new, younger blood to supplement the other cogs? Do a mini-rebuild and give the fans some hope.

Let Jarome go! He’s still a great power forward and teams would line up to bid for his services. It could be a win-win for both the Flames organization and Jarome. Kipper also would garner interest.
