Thanks for the nice words!

Instead of doing a personal attack drive-by, how about explaining where I'm wrong?

First off, I never claimed I like Hartley, Feaster or King but please by all means explain to myself and the 2 other "dummies" who agreed with me where I'm wrong.

Here's where I think I'm right.

-Hartley got more out of less and at least the team showed some exciting play instead of this garbage that GG imposes

-Feaster gets a bum rap but he is responsible for most of the best draft picks on the team, he took over a team full of cap problems and players with no trade/movement clauses and had the fans liking the future. The O'Reilly offer sheet could have been a disaster but 99% of hockey people including the Colorado brass had no clue about the new CBA rule, but had we got O'Reilly the flames would have been much better off with O'Reilly than with Bennett, McDonald and Hickey. Treliving has had no brainer draft picks and other than getting Hamilton for picks in a weak draft has done nothing to help this teams weaknesses, even after admitting this team needs speed and scoring he continues to ignore the needs and still keeps paying our putrid defense about $26 million(probably a league high) while over cooking defensive prospects in the minors. Treliving is good at is contract negotiations but not building an exciting winning team, ask yourself...has he ever stepped out to make a hockey trade to at least try to make the team better? NO, he's like his dad on Dragon Den, unless the deal is a guaranteed win he won't take the chance.

-King over Burke is a no brainer, Burke stuffs $3 million a year in his jeans to not only to do nothing, he does it while living in Toronto and using a cell phone once a week back to Calgary. total waste considering King also gets paid more to do about the same

Again, I don't like any of these 6, but the current 3 is terrible but please keep proving me wrong with personal attacks without proving a damn thing
