Professionals in this sport are just as prone to having a unique set of misguided biases and blind spots as a lot of dedicated fans are. Often moreso because they may evaluate by watching a ton of tape of one area (for instance "play in front of the net") and overvalue that area's percieved impact.
I want to believe that the Flames are trending towards a higher level of competency but if they hang on to a rapidly declining Hamonic - with term - I really can't help but think I'd rather have some dude on Calgarypuck be our GM. Maybe it's not an Occam's Razor level of obvious but the fact is that Hamonic has been here for three years and outside of one regular season he's been half of our worst pair and never a part of our best. That's two regular seasons and a playoff series. He was also awful the year before he got here. That's 3 bad seasons out of four, and a horrible playoffs.
