And for all the moaning of our bad luck, losing Byfuglien for nothing was a big blow for them. Point is it happens to all teams and i’m not convinced Flames have more than their share.

Exactly, anybody that bad mouths or blames ownership should be ashamed. Would they prefer Ottawa’s situation where their openly cheap GM interferes with hockey operations and decisions? Then goes out of his way to embarrass the entire franchise every time he’s in front of a microphone? I believe Darryl Katz and Francesco Acquilini have also meddled a bit in their own team’s affairs and have had to publicly quell backlash or answer difficult questions. Murray and co stay away from that and give Brad more freedom than most. He appears to have a robust set of executives, assistants and scouts. Plenty of money for buyouts and coaching fires. This team spends max to cap, they invest in the community and they don’t act scummy. Like what more do people want from a small market ownership group?
