Wish he didn't do it.
But the hockey community had the Flames as a contending team after those moves before puck drop on that season.
Not sure how the goof got all that media from other cities behind him.

The abuse he takes is because of the multiple draft picks he traded for lack of success, the many coaches he hired and fired, a new goalie almost every year, multiple poor UFA signings that led to buyouts, always being 2nd for top players, all of these while being given permission to spend to the cap...plus many other reasons. These just came to mind.
The abuse is warranted IMO, he didn't have a clue. Blown opportunity in that era, if we had a competent gm.. i can see thing's going very differently for us...
