PS : Regehr and Leopold were hardly "budding superstars" ; Regehr was played like a soft teddy bear and Leopold was shuffling between the Saint John and Calgary.

Leopold played 3 games in the minors on a conditioning stint,not sure how that is shuffling between Saint John and Calgary.
As for your statement that there was not a farm team, that is demonstrably false by your false statement that Leopold was shuffling between the big club and the Flames minor league team. Sutter did not inherit a situation where he did not have a minor league team, he was the GM when the team decided to split a minor league team in Lowell, some might even say it was his decision.
Darryl inherited a small market team that had missed the playoffs, Feaster inherited a small market team that missed the playoffs. Both Darryl and Feaster inherited organizations that had farm teams though, not sure why you think the Flames did not have a farm team.
