I'm sorry. But i think it is totally fair to call this guy incompetent. I could write this article for the flames and maybe upto 5 or so teams myself (as could most CPers and NHL enthusiasts), and i have another fulltime job.
If my fulltime job was to be in sports and write articles, i'd at least try to follow all teams. Hell just following the 7 canadian teams would be a no-brainer considering the viewership and audience working for a canadian broadcaster. And if time doesn't warrant that day to day, then do some home work and spend the time to review the year's major stories, starting lineups thru out the year, line combo time sheets, and then draw some conclusions prior to writing an offseason article.
Articles and sports journalists (or whatever they are called these days) that put out such elementary, and inaccurate details, are best to be ignored.
