FlamesNation mailbag: Darryl Sutter rides into town

The Calgary Flames have a brand-new coach! They’ve won some games and lost some games in the last week. Readers have questions about all of these things!

Let’s check out the mailbag, folks!

If the Flames lose even more ground in the standings will we see player moves before the trade deadline since it won’t really matter about the 14 day wait…since they’d be out anyway?

If the Flames don’t gain much ground in the next few weeks, I could see the club look more at pure hockey trades – moves that would see more structural changes to the core and be aimed at impacts beyond just this year – but most likely the first few weeks of Darryl Sutter’s regime will be about establishing habits and probably won’t result in any players being sent outta town… even if the Flames maintain their standings slide.
