Some people value the process and understand that sometimes you can do everything right, hit all the key "deliverable", and not get the outcome that you wanted.
Some people only look at the end outcome to determine if something was a success or not.
If you would have not shown me the standings but told me before the season started that:
- Gaudreau would be top 10 in scoring
- Monahan would score 30
- Ferland would score 20
- Tkachuk would show continued growth
- Hamilton would lead the league in d-man goals
- Smith acquisition was relatively a success
- Flames would have the 2nd best road record in the league
I would have taken that in a heart beat and thought that they were a top 5-10 team in the league easily.
But somehow all those statements are true and we still sit outside a playoff picture. The outcome doesn't always add up to all the inputs.

It's sports though, results aren't just another input, which is basically what he's saying, they're the reason a team is put on the ice. They're the reason the GM trades assets to make a push.
I'm sorry, that's an insane statement.
