That would be a shame. The Flames by the end of this year will likely have the 20th most points of all the teams in the NHL over the 7 years that he was here. They had the 17th most in the 7 seasons before he came. Brad inherited a 20 year old center who averaged 30 goals and 36 assists for 66 points per 82 game season in his first 6 years under Brad. He inherited a 20 year old winger who averaged 27 goals and 52 assists for 79 points for every 82 games player in his first 6 years under Brad. This organization has no assets like that now. He somehow built a team to win now that did worse compared to their peers over his 7 regular seasons than the Flames did in the 7 seasons before he came and he has left an organization without any identifiable young up and coming players the caliber of that which he inherited.
