I mean, I can't picture the guy sitting on his hands.
He's not perfect, but what is he supposed to do?
It takes two GM's to agree to a deal, and then in his case he usually has to also deal with not only having to convince the player he wants to agree to come to Calgary, but apparently he has to get the OK from micromanaging higher ups within the Flames organization.

How about not targeting players with Calgary on their NTC list? Lots of time went into constructing that deal only to have it fall apart because kadri wouldn’t waive, which wasn’t a surprise. Target players with no trade protection or ones that don’t have Calgary on their list.
Kadri and Hall were potential home runs. Problem is that those percentages are small. Let’s take some singles and doubles, moves that improve us incrementally but still improve the team. Instead of ending up with nothing which is where we are now.
