IMO - too early to tell. So far, not a success.
1) Expected flames to finish top 3 in division. They did not.
2) Expected flames to push anahiem to 6 or 7 games. TBD on that one.
The biggest disapointments of the season have been Troy Brouwer and TJ Brodie. TJ Brodie has had a rough season, but still looks like a fine top 4 and a player who will bounce back. In contrast, the Brouwer contract could be as killer as the wideman contract. IMO the player is very very slow and brings less than Lance Bouma, who is also overpaid at $2.2m. The flames should give up a 2nd rounder to Vegas if they promise to select Troy Brouwer. Thats how bad he is.
