As a Flames fan I'd accept that before OTT hangs up the phone. Basically fast-tracks an actual rebuild for us.
I think CGY is in a much worse position than most realize and I say that as a diehard fan.
The Flames need to rebuild and not retool - IMO they just don't have enough surrounding talent to have any significant success w/ the Coleman / Kadri / Weegar core. Chabot might not be as good as Weegar but he's a 1LD w/ term and relatively young. Batherson and Norris are both top 6 / borderline top line forwards w/ term and upside.
I see the appeal for OTT in adding a proven 2C, a 1RD and a valuable middle-top 6 winger in Coleman. I do think it shifts their competitive window up significantly though. These guys are right in the middle of their primes whereas Norris / Bath / Chabot are still a ways away. Seems like a move made by Staios to get the Sens at the very least back into the playoffs- something they desperately need in that market. If there is regression from Coleman / Kadri though, (esp Coleman considering his career year) I think that is still a significant risk
