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.

Okay that I 100% agree with. That's a little different then your first post though.
Signing Cervenka wasn't the problem, Feaster running his mouth was. If that was your angle then Yup, I'm totally on board with that. That was Feaster's constant problem, doing the sell job. The consistently put unneeded and totally unnecessary pressure on players.
Agreed with Erick Estrada on his post as well, pencilling Cervenka in a top line role was a big mistake too.
Feel bad for Cervenka overall, I wish he would have signed with another team for one year. Had a full training camp and without the health problems he had going into that season for the Flames. H
