The Calgary Flames are struggling to keep players interested in playing for them. Since last year, they lost many key pieces of their roster, and it looks like it's not for nothing.

People thought that once Darryll Sutter would be gone, things would change, but unfortunately, that's not the only isue in the organization that prevents players from wanting to stay there.

Lucic Reveals Why Players Don't Like Calgary

Milan Lucic, who left the Flames to sign with the Boston Bruins explained why Calgary isn't the prefered destination for players.

"It's a smaller city, there's not much going on other than the Flames.
Even though we all love the Dome, it's old. That's the main thing."

"It's not like on a day off you can go to an NBA of MLB game."

"Just trying to give an honest answer about what guys are thinking about."

Lucic probably didn't intend to cast such a dark portrait of the town he called "home" for the past few years, but his honesty reflects a much bigger issue with the Flames.
