Flames definitely need to add if they are going to do anything this season

Valid.
He'll do like Anthopolus did with the Blue Jays in his last year.
Throw caution to the wind by pulling off a couple big deals that take and showcase a lot of GM expertise, experience, foresight, cap management and also require a lot of solid league contacts etc etc, something that gets the fans buzzing and team energized for the last month and the run....and dare the management not to meet his demands and risk losing him....regardless of whether the moves he makes gets them in or not.
I think prior years he knew he may not get buy in from the stubborn coach on players he'd pick up, and not play them properly or in the right situations; this year he doesn't have that same concern.
