Don't think many are criticizing bringing in Shanahan. Fans are hoping that he gets carte blanche over hockey operations and brings in his own GM and does things the way he sees best.
What upsets fans is the idea that Shanahan is just a liaison between King and Feaster and status quo remains in hockey ops.
Frankly this comes down to Jay Feaster, Bob Hartley and the current people involved in Flames management. If its a mandate that Feaster stays no matter what, the real change that is needed, won't happen.
