Actually, the Flames had this management team in the early 90's:

Doug Risebrough – two years as AGM, had to learn the GM's duties on the job while also serving as head coach
Al Coates – several years in hockey operations but no executive experience
Bill Hay – no hockey management experience at any level

They also had one of the smallest budgets in the league and were constantly losing talent because they couldn't afford to pay good players.

You tell me. How many times are people going to blame Brad Treliving for losing a player in the expansion draft?
