That’s it for 2016-17. The offseason came a bit too early for fans and management alike, and frankly, the team deserved better given their efforts. No one said this game was fair though.
Calgary made a lot of headway as a franchise this year, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still improve. Lots of questions still linger for Brad Treliving (assuming he gets another contract), and there’s a lot of tweaking around the edges that can be done this summer.
The expansion draft and entry draft both happen in June, bringing new opportunities. In July, the Flames can go hunting for UFAs thanks to the over $20M in cap space they should have in their pockets.
