A lot of 2016 was pretty rough if you support the Calgary Flames. After such a successful end to the 2015 season, along with a couple of playoff rounds, the Flames dropped back near the bottom of the league last season. We entered 2016 just hoping for a quality draft pick at the end of the season and for Kris Russell to be traded. The remainder of the 15-16 season included more terrible goaltending and the classic Dennis Wideman saga.
The offseason was not entirely fun either, whether it be hiring a coach that was somewhat off the radar, or the Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau contract negotiations dragging out for the duration of the summer.
