It was pretty clear he thought he could make some moves at the draft I think he tried hard to move that 6th pick, and I think went after some UFA's, but the price was too high, and, couldn't get anything of decent value for Cammalleri.

Outside of that, at the draft he took the guy any GM would've taken at 6, and outside of dropping 13 or so spots at the 22 pick, picked Klimchuk about where he should've landed.

Russell, Galiardi, Knight, all local guys who grew up as Flames fans, and all on short 1 year deals. Signing the younger guys to contracts at the end of last season and guys like Joey Macdonald, were as much administrative as anything. He didn't make the splash that he so desperately wanted to do.

You do realise that in order to get rid of Tanguay they had to take back a horrible contract in Jones. Don't get me wrong Jones fits a role for the flames for the next couple of years, but in no way is a 3rd line Jones worth $4 million.
