The hallmark of good teams is stability at the GM position. If you have a bad GM you should keep him for another several years because he might become good. And then if he doesn’t become good, you should give him another few years because he might just get lucky. Only then should you make a change.

I Bradlieve in the Wizard.
That’s a four bagger post. Take a trot around the bases.

I’d add the cap space, assets to acquire extra picks and almost the lowest expectations any Flames GM has had in recent memory.

It’s staggering how little progress the big league club has made in seven years. A few nice draft picks though, I’ll give him that.
