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?

Well if people on a hockey forum spouting their opinions on hockey as if they know more than an NHL GM gets you riled up, you won’t find much joy on the internet talking about hockey IMO.
I mean the Flames had a management team in the early 90’s with lots of hockey experience and they still traded Gilmour, Macoun and other useful pieces for essentially nothing. Even with that said, your argument is always valid I just don’t see the point in repeating it endlessly.
