Boom - Lance Bouma. He has a bounce back season and makes the teams protected list for the expansion draft. He is more than a fourth line forward.
Boom - Dennis Wideman. He can't have a worse season. Can he? I usually like the way veteran players play in their contract years.
Bust - Troy Brouwer. I like a lot of Trelivings' moves but I am starting to think the team might be better served if he would just take the day off on the next July 1st. Joe Colborne will have a better season than Troy Brouwer at half the price.
Bust - Glenn Gulutzan. I didn't like the Hartley firing but after the new coach was hired it became more clear to me. Hartley was let go because a coach of the calibre of Glenn Gulutzan became available. They hired Glenn Gulutzan. Could have paid Hartley his money to coach the Flames instead of paying him to NOT coach the Flames. Could have had Glenn Gulutzan next off season (or maybe anytime this season)How the hell does Treliving pitch the idea to the ownership group of taking 1.75 million of their own dollars and flushing them down the crapper.
