Saying "I don't want to bring in another guy because I have Morton" is insane, IMO. It basically says 'Morton is the guy - that's the bar, that's our team'. I mean, do we not want to improve on that?
Again, maybe Morton turns out better. Maybe Beecher does. But isn't it better to give them both a shot as opposed to just hoping we were right all along with Morton? And not forcing him to get better?

Lol Ok, it's insane to question there is always a downside with moves like this? That's a bizarre take. I quite literally said the move could easily work out in my post but the measuring stick for a move like that is insignificant....saying there's no downside is just dumb. What's wrong with giving a guy like Morton some runway when he's earned a proper shot? It's pretty obvious you're convinced I'm on some witch hunt to crush this move, when I quite clearly said I'm fine with it and merely questioned the logic of saying there's no downside at this point and time with many players in the system that can be looked at.
The Flames are a last place team nibbling around bringing in waiver wire players when what really needs to be done is ship out pending UFAs and veterans and start planting the seeds for next year and beyond.
