If he doesn’t watch then he probably doesn’t interfere, right? It’s just an increasing asset as all pro teams are these days.
But the beef seems to be that he does follow, and that he puts pressure on the GM to keep the Flames in playoff contention rather than any real long term planning. Certainly no tanking for elite talent is allowed. Even last time, I think we called it a re-tool and it resulted in good picks not by design but rather futility.
That’s what all the people familiar with the matter seem to think. Insiders and media types that do this reporting full time, all say the same thing about the Flames.
