Kaboom.

The Cervenka signing is barely anything. Haven't the foggiest why anyone makes an issue with that. He was given a high cap hit, which wasn't an issue with our team, only paid a million, and was an experiment for a season. It didn't work out and he left.
You can harp on plenty of things Feaster did, Cervenka barely registers though. I have no problem with a GM trying out an older euro player for a year, it didn't negatively effect the Flames an iota.
If that Wolf fellow from Germany comes over for one season and is a total blunder for Burke, it's really nothing. Don't mind these types of moves. I could understand if we were tight against the cap or needed a contact spot but neither of those situations were in play.
