Today I heard the following tidbits from someone much more credible and close to the Flames Organization than the Orange Julius guy but talk is talk so this is what this is......talk.
-Brian Burke performed a full thorough and exhaustive examination of the Flames Organization and was thoroughly appalled with the teams drafting record, scouting staff, what the organization looks for in evaluating players as well as the development of those players.
-John Weisbrod's player evaluating philosophies are not well respected around the league and he has a much different philosophy than most every other scouting executive as far as evaluating talent.
-Things were never as they seemed when Brian Burke was highered, Brian Burke reported to one man and one man only, Murray Edwards and when Burke was highered Feasters days were essentially numbered.
-Brian Burke does not like small players and despite what he says about wanting to keep Johnny Gaudreau around.....he doesnt. He does not believe that small players can exist in this league and that Martin St. Louis and guys like him are extremely rare and not worth taking a risk on.
-Jay Feaster and John Weisbrod believes in character, Hockey IQ, speed, skill. Brian Burke believes in size, truculence, black and blue hockey.
-Jay Feaster and John Weisbrod were in Abbostford watching the Heat when they were called back to Calgary to be fired.
