I don't get the speculative pessimism? The Flames are a team willing to spend to win, a GM will inherit a team with ample cap space, and in the early stages of a rebuild (inheriting Monahan, 2014 1st, and a few nice prospects). They get to be mentored by Brian Burke who is a highly respected executive among his peer group. What candidate wouldn't love to inherit a team to build from the ground up with a near endless budget to build a winner?
Also candidates can look around and see more and more organizationsoving toward the management structure that includes a President of Hockey Ops
