Was it a good pick, maybe, but our decision making track record speaks for itself, like it or not.

If the Flames hired Shanahan a month ago and made the same pick, I suspect that the mainstream media would be talking about how savvy the pick was and how Shanny was making his mark on the team with a culture change, grittiness, etc... Same with the Tanguay trade. New team exec shaking things up with an eye for a possible breakout player like Jones.
