I don’t think it is the norm to lame duck a GM like the flames have done with Conroy and what they did with Treliving. Montreal just gave 5 year extensions to Gorton and Hughes.
The average is 3 years typically and the Flames went lighter.
Fans are upset at the organization because it has been one of the most mediocre programs in the league for 20 years. The way the flames have conducted themselves over the years has fueled these narratives and why the fanbase is reacting this way.
Listening to the post game last night. Pat has said he has never remembered a time covering the team where there has been such a strong push from the fans for a different direction.
Ultimately I think we will all be pleased by seasons end by the moves as I want to remain optimistic we will see more than Andersson moved and we will get that top 5 pick. The messaging from the team has just been sloppy as pointed out by the insiders like Friedman and Seravalli
