You say the Flames are a mediocre team. That by definition means he’s not incompetent - he’s just not exceptional.

It's professional sports... he's an abject failure considering how he started a rebuild with assets he did and where he took them over a 7 year period (not even getting into the debate over BT starting with nothing, total malarkey).
Being where we are right now is incompetence imo. If you want to split hairs, fine. Let me put it this way... imo he's a bottom 5 GM. He made 2 decent trades involving the same player in 7 years, is garbage in UFA and doesn't know how to hire a decent coach to save his life, which hurts the development of the good assets he does have. Only positive I can see is he lets his scouts scout and doesn't get in their way. Probably a good thing because he has no ability to evaluate hockey talent whatsoever. Even then the prospect pool is crap because he trades so many picks away for turd players.
Basically he's a smooth talking empty suit who is really good at fooling people by saying what they want to hear and inventing buzzwords to make himself look like he's on the right path. It's all part of the process after all, right?
