I can understand disliking a few moves, but this is an excessive amount of disapproval leading me to question if you just want something to hate.

I actually had the weegar signing in mind as before Kadri, so no, that one was a good call. I also think the Tkachuk trade was probably the best we could have done at the time, though I may have targeted younger players.
- Sutter never should have been hired. His firing just rights a wrong that is a consistent issue in this club's history.
- Conroy as GM is a total unknown. Do I hate it? no. Do I disagree? Not even entirely. What I disagree with (and have stated this all along) was the timing. They should have hired him immediately and let him get to work on making the trades he needed to do. Frankly they should have turfed Tre much earlier too, but even ignoring that, the whole charade of the GM search was a pointless joke that just led to our club being directionless for two of the most important trading weeks on the calendar, before the most talent loaded draft in a decade. Foolish.
- Huska is a weird choice. I would have gone with Love. But I also wasn't loud or outraged on the boards about this, you can go back and check the receipts. It's just meh.
- Toffoli trade was ok. Depends on Sharangovich. Also didn't say much positive or negative about this from my recollection. I maintain my position that Toffoli would have been more valuable if we had traded him sooner, and we likely missed extracting more value due to the whole Treliving will he stay wont he stay + conroy gm search debacle.
- I did not agree with our draft picks. I have not said anything negative about our draft picks since we drafted them and have commented in support of them multiple times since.
Sorry I have spurs'ed you all out. I think perhaps you are jointly laser focusing on the bad posts. I'm done, no sense continuing with this nonsense, I ask not for your replies.
I absolutely stand by my position in this post:
IF the flames organization are truly not putting any effort into promoting or executing on this outdoor game BOA, then it's a big waste and a bad move. This is the opinion that brought this storm of fury upon me in this thread, and I will die on it I guess. But I'd like to see someone actually counter this opinion.
