If someone trying to give me their opinion about the Flames is so uninformed that they honestly believe that Brian Burke is the one pulling the strings, that person is automatically not worth listening to.
The only people worse are the ones who respond to the inevitable reaction of "the Flames' GM is actually Brad Treliving" with "yeah, well, in name only".

These comments are from June when the deal was announced, but it was interesting to hear Phil Esposito's views at the 0:20 mark - he said the biggest challenge with Smith in Dallas, Tampa and Phoenix is that he has been "inconsistent". Phil acknowledged Smith had one good year in Phoenix. It will be interesting to see if the change in venue to a Canadian hockey market and with one of the best d-cores in the NHL in front of him if Smith can solve his consistency challenges. If he can, then the Flames have a winner.
Isn't this the guy who used to hock cheetah energy drinks?

I'm still a little peeved we weren't able to sign Hickey and that he's no longer flames property. He was such a slick/smart guy to watch in camp scrimmages.
I can't see him signing in Phoenix. Might as well go FA now.

While disappointed he didn't sign, as long as he doesn't end up in Edmonton or Vancouver, I'll be okay with it.

Yea. Now imagine that pass with Gaudreau lurking at the opposite blue line.
This season is going to be awesome!
