Oh for ####s sake. Seriously?!!!!! It's amazing anyone from the organization is there, let alone our associate GM. And if we really are chartering him a jet and flying the families out then OMG, we are essentially giving him the red carpet treatment. Not many prospects get a welcome like that.

What exactly has this kid accomplished at this point that suggests he should be getting treated like he's the next coming? And why are so many Flames fans so insecure about the appeal of this organization that the feel all of the Flames upper management should kneeling on front of this kid taking care of his needs 24/7? The Flames are already going above and beyond, and we seriously get the obligatory "where's Burke".

He's ####ing working, and he's letting Connie play chauffeur as it should be.
