48 HOURS???? Where is this CP Kool Aid Stand? and where do I line up ? While you can argue that "Big D" was arguably the best coach the flames had, you could just as easily give him the title as our flat out worst GM, he made 7 first round picks (well 6 because of the Jokinen debacle) and we netted a total of 2 NHL'ers in the FIRST round, remember Kris Chucko, Matt Pelech because I don't. He did find us our greatest franchise goalie in Kipper, but how many goalies did we develop on our own? ZERO, James Spratt, Kevin Lalande and Matt Keetley all flushed down the drain. He might be in the NHL record books for trading nearly every single second round pick he ever had. He left us with so many No Trade Clauses that we had to giveaway Regehr just to get some cap space.

Darryl did make a few good trades here and there and he did find the odd diamond in the rough (Brodie) but I am going to judge his time as GM by the way he left it- A hot mess!
