Yep that's me.
No contending playoff team can be composed of small skilled no-contact players. The limit is 3-4.
Bouwmeester was a bad Signing. Played too soft and set the tone for the team. Wasn't needed as Flames had Phanuef/Regehr/Aucion/Sarich/Gio at the time.
A team can not win with Stempniak in the top 6.
Mason Raymond was a horrible signing that I identified as such 3 minutes after it was done.
Gaudreau was going to be a front line player with the Flames and not spend a day in the minors based on his performance at the world cup.
Monahan was going to be a lot better than Elias Lindholm.
those were my very clear positions in the past that can be judged as crazy or not.
Going forward:
Gio's contract is a disaster.
Frolik took away Hudlers money and is not as good as Hudler and will not likely be a #1 line player for the length of his contract. Brings to mind of Hagman/Stajan and Kotalik except we don't have Iginla (or even Hudler) for him to play behind.
Hamilton lacks the hockey sense to be touted as a generational d-man. Tools are there but too much standing around and not making any play at all. Not that he gets beat he just doesn't make any play all.
Should have been signed to a 3 M bridge contract.... then pay the $8-10 M if he reaches his potential. He like Bouwmeester was a prize acquisition that wasn't really needed - Gio/Brodie Russell/Wideman- Schlemko.
