Perfection simply cannot be the standard. The best teams have consistency in their management and coaching. He has been way better than he needs to be in order to be retained, when you consider that the alternative is another period of turnover and change in tone from the top. That just cannot happen right now, in my opinion.
Re: drafting, he hasn't been around long enough to judge his effect on our draft results.

Just saw the poll. So almost 98% of Calgary hockey fans say yes to bringing him back. I don't think any Flames GM since the the Stanley Cup would have had a response like that. Get it done Burke!
Unless this is fake news of course...

Many of the people who voted to not bring him back are not Flames fans, to boot.
