Cap management thus far has been a disaster.

I trust that he learns from his mistakes.

He bought out Raymond on June 30th to sign Brouwer on July 1st. He bought out Brouwer in August 2018 after signing Neal in July 2018.
He gave too much term and cap to a marginal player in Bouma then did the same thing with Michael Stone. Bought out both players.

He doesn't take risks with qualifing offers any more

He just took two huge gambles with RFAs and qualifying offers, walking Tkachuk to a 10 million dollar qualifying payday a year from UFA and ground Mangiapane into a nub to accept a league minimum 2 way deal instead of locking him up for several years at a reasonable value.

I believe we seen the last of the Brouwer or Neal type deals.

If so it's because he's worked himself progressively upwards until he's landed on a deal he can't buyout in Lucic

I trust him to be in on every deal that could make the Flames better, and to not get robbed in a trade.

He's either not consumating these deals or getting burned by them.

I trust in his ability to draft and develop young talent.

The Flames haven't made a league average amount of picks in 3 years.

My worry is his vision for the team. The Flames play best with a transition game and active defence. However him and the coaching staff seem to believe that this style will not in the playoffs. The biggest thing I want to see for next season is a coach who has a plan for how to make the playstyle that the Flames are best at work for playoff hockey.

Pretty big concern if his vision isn't represented on the ice after 6 years.
Maybe the biggest concern of all?
