[Flamenspiel]

I don't know about the comparisons to the Jets last year, i think the Flames are similar to the Jets last year(they have had the young guys play). The primary issue and difference is that the GM traded away our first and second picks and did not lottery protect the 1st pick. That move could end up being a a franchise altering decision and could be a mistake that cancels out everything else that was done correctly. It can happen in business, it can also happen in a relationship, and of course it can happen in sports.

Unfortunatly I can't help thinking about the deal the Leafs(and i am not a Leafs fan) made back in the day when they picked up Tom Kurvers for the pick that ended up being Hall of Famer Scott Neidermayer. I certainly hope that the Flames finish well, even if they don't make the playoffs because a 10-14th pick is big difference from a 1 or 2 pick.
