Do you fire the GM because of that alone? I sure don't. Not if he has a plan to address it going forward.

Or we could fire him because that's what the Flames do.
I don't think too many fans are campaigning for the GM to get fired. He just got a new contract so even if this season ended up a tire fire like the Oilers I couldn't see him getting a pink slip. He's proven to be a good not great GM that we hope is learning from past mistakes. That said he has to take some of the credit for the failure this season. Jagr didn't work out and Lack was a disaster. Haminic has been okay but not a difference maker you expect from a 1st round pick and two 2nd's. His best move was acquiring the 35 year old goaltender. He clearly needs to have a much better offseason this year or this time next season there will be a lineup of fans campaigning for the GM to be fired.
