I always thought Regier did an excellent job until he got ownership with deep pockets as things went downhill with some poor UFA contract signings. He's very good at getting top assets in trades and the Sabres drafted well under him for the most part. I wouldn't have any issue with him getting the Flames job as I don't think you can define his career based on the last few years with the Sabres as he did a lot of good before that.

I think Burke will be pretty hands on so I don't see the GM handing out ridiculous UFA deals unless Burke signs off on it so I'm okay with the "2 heads are better than 1" approach here.
