From HFBoard oiler fan, in analyzing MacT's management:
O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
What a bust. Funny thing is Gormley has also been a huge bust.
For those wondering why I bring up Gormley? When the Flames made the Jokinen trade the first round pick was the Flames choice of 2009 or 2010. Flames kept their 2009 pick and I believe they even traded back and picked up Erixon 23rd overall. Due to the nightmare season in 2010 the Flames missed the playoffs and gifted the Yotes the 13th pick which ended up being Gormley who I recall was ranked even higher than 13 so that really stung at the time.
Both picks busted and the Flames had some assets out of Erixon but Shinkaruk and Wotherspoon are also near bust as well

Hey now, don't criticize him too much. Not many people can say they were traded for a 50+ goal scoring Rocket Richard winner in Rick Nash and the leading playoff scorer on the Stanley Cup Champions in Phil Kessel. Such an illustrative NHL career Tom!

Well no guarantee we would have picked Gormley, they might have picked the best right winger still available in Tarasenko.
Ahh who am I kidding, Sutter wasn't taking the Russian.
Edit: Eat crap Tom
