Well said.
Also have to think it would be fair to say the Flames wouldn’t be among the more desirable locations in the league to be a GM, given their history. Until Sutter (good ol’ boy) came along the coaching budget appears to have been been on the lighter side of things. Anyone who comes in likely has to toe the line until Sutter decides to leave or it gets to the point where firing him is the only option.
