The Flames may have saved their team from another roster overhaul
after an underwhelming 2022-23 season, and according to DailyFaceoff’s Frank Seravalli, that might have just saved the team from crumbling., Seravalli revealed that multiple Flames players put in trade requests throughout the difficult season. But according to Seravalli, those players withdrew their trade requests after Sutter was let go.
"In talking to various people around the league that have connections to Calgary, the sentiment was any trade requests that were out there, or demands so to speak, have been rescinded now that there's been a coaching change," Seravalli said. “I believe there was at least a handful of players who had spoken honestly and frankly to Brad Treliving and Don Maloney, who were in the room for the exit interviews, to say exactly that. Essentially, it's as simple as, 'If this guy's back, I don't wanna play here.'"
If true, the easy decision to axe one coach to save a portion of the roster should have been an easy one.
