I dont know that hes any worse than any previous Flames GMs but hes strictly average. They need a better than average GM to get anywhere with the fact this is not a hot destination. Someone like Chevy or Lou that can take a crap situation and turn it into gold . Not sure who is available thats like that. Im sure they thought the Phoenix Coyotes Mgmt team they have could do more with less as well but it hasn't worked out. They channeled thier 2012 Coyotes season with their Peter's season and that was proven a fluke just like the Yotes. Maybe Lombardi would get slightly better results but im not certain as he had a pretty hot market to work with.
