To say that Cervenka was a good player would be wrong, to say that he is responsible for the Flames losing games is laughable.

Cervenka did finish tied for 2nd worst +/- on the team despite playing limited minutes so I would argue that Cervenka cost the team some games. But main point isn't that Cervenka alone that cost the team wins, but Feaster pencilling in Cervenka as a top 6 center that cost the team wins. Lack of center depth was a huge problem for the Flames this season and to say that it wasn't responsible for the Flames losing games is laughable.
