			Rooney was definitely a panic buy from Tre.  
 
The Flames just lost Johnny and knew that Tkachuk was leaving as well, Tre needed to shore up the forward depth with someone. In comes Rooney...

Rooney has literally been below replacement level his entire career. A general manager should have known this.

			Every year the GM is likely going to have one acquisition go bad.  Last year it was trading a 4th for Pitlick and a cap hit that I think was 1.75 million...this year it's the Rooney signing.   
 
Really not bad...much progress since the James Neal mess!

Just want to give props to Scorp, he is the first person to have called this. Friedman is saying Pelletier, but I think Scorp and Leslie have better info.
