I feel like having an ex coyotes gm behind the rebuild we just got exactly what we signed up for
he made a couple great moves , but they only served to help keep the Flames in mediocrity land where they wouldn't draft anybody elite
the moves after 2015 thinking we were further ahead than we were and trying to fast track it rather than just continuing to accumulate youth and let them ripen was the downfall
same mistake the Canucks made after their bubble run .. almost to a T
the organization needs patience , needs to focus on the long game and needs to quit trying to cut corners by spending future assets
they've done it for far too long and we have never consistently amounted to anything on the ice . it's always led to them patching a sinking ship with duct tape and banking on just getting in
