Flames need to commit to bottoming out next year and to me it looks to be the path they’re taking, can’t wait to see how Conroy executes this.

What did Dorion do that was so bad? Honestly aside from the Zibanejad deal most of the other deals have been decent. He stuck to the plan and drafted well. I didn't like some of his moves, like any GM, but he wasn't terrible in my estimation at least. He was actually among the upper third I'd say just based on his track record for not totally screwing his team over in the future.
