I guess as a fan I'm frustrated and tired of the "process". NO #1 Goalie. Dump and chase hockey from a middling coach. Mark my words the Flames will be instituting the Trap next year. Stories like missing out on some valuable pieces because he couldn't get permission from King in time. If he has been freed of this leash,then he certainly has not done enough with his autonomy.

So, I think these are different complaints. In your original post you blamed the GM for his lack of activity and contentment with the status quo. And this is what I take issue with: here you have identified things that are arguably legitimate problems. So, argue from there—don't invent an alternative narrative that does not accurately reflect this situation and the issues as a shorthand by which to vent your frustration.

My own fault for being too emotionally invested in the team. They represent me and our City and I just want them to win. It's a tough position he is in but I believe he is out of his element hockey wise.

I certainly understand civic pride and the emotional investment of fans. But I have come to learn more recently that confusing such things with our own identities can be terribly unhealthy, and result in a lot of needless anxiety and depression. Hockey is supposed to be fun. If you are no longer having fun, then maybe you need a change? A change that you can control, and not one that depends on what the GM or the team might do?
