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.

This is sort of what I"m talking about. I'm not trying to suggest that signing Cervenka cost the flames dearly, but it's one of Feaster's bigger blunders because of what it said about his ability to assess talent and implement a team building philosophy.
If this Wolf guy comes in and turns out to be nothing, it won't bother me much either. If Burke says this guy is going to be a top 6 forward for Calgary next year and he turns out to be a defensemen, it's serious cause for concern.
