No one can win this argument, some posters simply believe the team needs a change. Now we move on to the next opportunity.
You can always argue the GM made the best possible decision given the information known to them but I don’t see much fun in that. Once you’ve said that once, you’re done.

I’m not certain. But what I am at least willing to acknowledge is that the Flames employ a team of hockey executives who make these decisions. How many cumulative years of experience do Treliving, Maloney, Conroy, Snow, Pascal, & Sutter have? How many does Reign of Fire or Keenan87 have?
I’m also willing to admit I have a career and a young family. I probably spend an hour or two a day reading about hockey or listening to podcasts. In other words, I don’t pretend to know more about what’s going on than the Flames management knows. I think a lot of people on this board like to think they do know more.
Again, though, under what circumstances would the Flames have decided not to improve the team today, if they had that opportunity and it made sense with their plan? Or should we just conclude that the Flames are run by imbeciles who wouldn’t know which end of the hockey stick is used for shooting, and the average CPer is better equipped to do their job?
