A future Norris winner and two all-star, prime aged 100+ point wingers force their way out of the org in just a few years. The only other GM that has to deal with that crap on a regular basis is Cheveldayoff.
We're lucky to have him.

Most Canadian organizations have been extremely poorly run. Saying he’s the best of a bad lot is setting expectations too low. It’s like some of you have accepted the Flames will never win another cup because of the obstacles of being a small market team. I have higher aspirations and believe it’s just a matter of finding the GM that can do it. Easier said than done but you won’t find that person by holding on to the GM that’s been just better than the buffoons that ran the other Canadian organizations into the ground.
