Do you consider Doug Wilson (SJ), Dean Lombardi (LA) to have left their teams in a mess?
As for little to no prospects.... sure it wasn't as deep (thanks in large part to trading a franchise forward and franchise defenseman, and a early 1st round draft pick) but I don't believe that "no prospects" stuff to be true. Gio, Brodie, Backlund. But hey... thats the victim of being a playoff team. Look at LA, after Toffoli they don't have a ton of prospects. And drafting.... again I fail to give credit to a GM when the GM himself admits he never watched any of the games of the prospects he drafted... but similarly I cannot blame him for the Jankowski pick either.
Personally - I put him in the catagory of "terrible" more than travesty. I think if Brad Richards, and ROR fiasco (no mater what % of likeliness it would have occurred) came to fruition, then it would be a travesty. As of this time, just the catagory of "terrible." Glad he's gone.

So how much are the Flames paying these guys, oh I see "If" it had happened it would have been brutal. But what "if" they both happened and turned out to be 70 point players. Then he wouldn't have had to trade Iggy, Tanguay, Bouwmeester and the Flames "could" have been a playoff team. Let it go, neither thing happened and did not effect the Flames, it gets tired reading all of the "what if's" and bashing someone for what "didn't" happen. If my uncle had boobs he'd be my aunt.
