How are some still defending the GM?
He's had no playoff success, multiple coaching hires and fires, multiple misses at acquiring a goalie, no #1 center, wasted Gio's best years and the currently constructed the team that is out of the playoffs and likely gets worked if they sneak in.
All that with being a cap team.
Who cares what pick he got for trading Hudler or Glencross etc years ago...Commending him for how he handled the Peters situation? He hired the guy without doing a proper check. Its not like he was left all alone to deal with this, the Flames PR, president, owner, NHL etc were all involved. He was the speaker of what he was being told to say.
He's had 2/3 of a decade to fix this thing and looks like a pile of crap. Theres no small victories, the point is to win and he hasn't done enough of it and the future doesnt seem very bright either.
