Do the Flames Keep Treliving?

[Geeoff]

I think Brad might get Oilered. As in he gets "promoted" somewhere else in the organization

[troutman]

"Should" is the more interesting question.

[mrdonkey]

I’m really hoping they just promote him to president and let someone else take over. It’s clear now that he has no vision for this team and isn’t a very good evaluator of talent. And the constant bleeding of picks, failing to capitalize on expiring deals, and patching over of mistakes with buyouts and garbage for garbage swaps has left the organization in a state of having no real strengths to sell on. It’s no wonder so many players want nothing to do with the Flames.

You just have to look at his list of moves in the last 5 years and ask yourself if this is the kind of guy who’s earned stability.

[Jacks]

Is there a clear upgrade available?
If so then yes.

If not then you don't the change until there is.

If David Poile becomes available, do you hire him?
Would he even want to come? The man is 70.

If he is up for the challenge, I would bring him in. He would be a wealth of knowledge and experience.

If he was looking to semi-retire, promote Conroy and offer Poile a consulting role.
