One could argue that BT received an organization with

- A lack of elite talent
- Deficiency overall in the asset base of the franchise

He had a better situation relative to other Flames GMs coming in - but relative to what other new GMs around the league walk into - it was a poor state of affairs.

The lack of assets in this franchise is nothing new. It's decades old. And Feaster made it worse by not extracting any value of his core.
He was a new GM!! Of course he didn't inherit a young team with elite talent, high end prospects and oodles of cap space. Those GM's don't get replaced.

Which Canadian team GM inherited a better situation? I assume you're saying the majority of GM's inherited a better situation based on the bolded, but I'd say Dubas is the only one . And I'd argue that's an unusual situation.
