This year would have been a lot more fun if they had taken it.

At very least Bean is proving why having a POHO and a face for bigger hockey decisions is desperately needed for this organization.

Maloney is a breath of fresh air. Answers questions as best he can and tries not to dance around it. Also love the emotion he's showing and his passion for the team.

Lindholm looked pretty average without his buddies IMO
And even then he hasn't looked great in the playoffs. I wouldn't want to give him 8x9 or whatever. Him not signing is good news IMO

Being here to discuss the state of the franchise versus asking them not to make operational hockey decisions is completely different and you know it.

As entertaining as anything else the team offered in the last season.

Don seems like a good guy. My perception of him has changed. Not impressed with Bean at all.

IMO there is a time for an owner to be up there and this is it.
The GM of 9 years just left this organization and it sounds like he did it on his own accord, not the organizations. My understanding too is that Bean has very little involvement in the hockey operations side of the Flames org.
Leaving Maloney and Bean to answer those questions wasn't fair IMO.

We could become the first professional team in history that's run by AI.

Again, Maloney is no stranger to this. Not saying he isn't sincere, but he is polished.

The correct answer is: “we will hire the GM and complete the full assessment of the team and develop a plan. Once we’ve done that, we will put the GM in control of executing the plan - nothing is off of the table until we’ve fully reviewed the situation.”
