The results we have are a product of the roster we have. This is clearly (in my opinion) the weakest team the Flames have ever iced. There isn't a coach in the league that would be getting better results. And several would probably have this team dead last.

This season is all about player development, so as long as young players are either improving or being whipped into shape, then standings don't matter. I'd also rather see a coach like Hartley that lets the reins out a little. Presumably Feaster/Burke will improve the roster over the next few seasons, and if the results don't improve, then I would worry about coaching. Right now though, it is pretty far down the list of things the worry about.
