Like what was the end goal here? Flames + playoffs. Wolf could've helped you there, and you could've got his Calder run in all the same at the end of the day.

We don't know that. He could have been blown out in his first game through no fault of his own based on the play in front of the goalies this year. You throw him in as the guy who can turn around your season, he has a couple lousy early games, and then his confidence is shot (and everyone on this board labels him an AHL lifer and 7th round bust).

The organization is a little too married to its stupid processes sometimes. You could argue that they need to be less afraid to cross their own lines for the sake of trying to win.

Best to stick with the plan and try to get the next Vasalevsky then to batism him in fire and get the next Ortio (or Gillies, or Parsons, or Irving, etc...)

What do they say? If you aren't cheating, you're not trying hard enough.
Oilers have demonstrated that recently with their hiring the guy accused of abuse that no other team would touch with a ten foot pole and coaxing players into early retirement.
Sadly, their foregoing of a moral compass is paying off for them.

I am sure if a poll were taken the majority would have opted for losing over signing Kane. and they haven't won anything yet.
