They have increased spending in non-on ice areas such as scouting, stats, video etc.
Also, which fans are fed up? The fans that have bought all the season tickets that are available? The Fans that are on a waiting list for season tickets? The fans that repeatedly buy my tickets I have for sale? The fans that post 100's, if not 1000's of messages on this board about the team?

Keep in mind we're in Calgary, Canada here where hockey is a huge part of the people's lifestyle.
Going out to games is just what people do to see NHL hockey. Doesn't mean they're satisfied with their favorite team.
Also, Jay Feaster should have never been made GM. They said at the time that he wasn't here to replace Darryl.
Also, spending to the cap means little. David Jones and Dennis Wideman
at a combined $9M plus Cammalleri at $7M for a total of $16M is a lot for those three players.
