If you were his GM, he'd be "sucking" for some other team. Just like the former Islander GM who dumped him for "sucking".

Yes and the key is that like Nino, Sam may need to move on to have any success at the NHL level. What the Flames are now getting from him is beyond abysmal. A laughable stat line of 17 Shots (17!!!), 16 PIM and 0G, 0A, -5 would be hard for even a face puncher to achieve at this point and those guys don't play 14+ minutes a night.
Look back into the previous season and you have roughly 45 games of the same ineptitude creating a disturbing trend that doesn't appear to be easing.
