The way you see Oilers fans whining, you would think the vast majority of Flames fans are declaring they're gonna win 5 cups in 10 years or something.
Next year is next year. Let the chips fall where they may.

I get why they're pissed off, they're into their 9th year of wandering through the desert aimlessly and theres no hope in sight.
The fact of the matter remains that the Oilers are where they are right now because management's game-plan went perfectly to the letter. This was the plan: suck and be rewarded.
Just because things go according to plan doesnt mean it was ever a good plan. But the people who sewered that team are going to be endlessly in charge.
Anyways, back on topic, this guy seems like he has potential and the Flames could easily use another Dman, and I love this move. Free asset. IF the guy shows even a glimmer of anything he could have potential or at the very worst he improves the farm team while getting his tan on in Stockton.
