Brad did some good work but I'm okay with a change. If you told me the Flames are about to hire a GM for 10 years and they would have 2 first round wins to show for it, while normally trading off early exits and missed playoffs, I'd probably say no thanks.
People are very attached to a GM who ultimately didn't accomplish all that much here. But he is a smart guy, I think he could have success in his next chapter.
