Czarnik. About to pop. Amounted to nothing. Leivo, Nordstrom, Simon, Nesterov, Rinaldo, etc.
Like I said, and you ignored this, I don’t put it all on Czarnik. As Roof mentioned, they pursued and didn’t even play the guy. So there was some sort of mismanagement, whether it was talent identification or player development / handling.
You can’t seriously call me out for pointing out a single roster filler signing that didn’t work out. Because there are several. That’s kind of the bigger problem.
When we are looking back fondly at Czarnik as a good off season signing we are getting in to Oiler territory.

Why does it have to be an organizational failing? The player wasn't that good.
He played four games on Long Island last year and had zero points ... could have been hurt, I haven't looked, but it certainly suggests the Islanders mishandled him too then?
He was a good gamble, and was well sought after. Didn't work out.
Not sure why it has to be on the Flames when a player isn't good enough, especially when they don't give up any assets to get the player.
