Darius Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 i get the feeling that the rival Flames like Benning: Markstrom and Tanev walked in the front door as UFAs. Tanev playing shutdown role and Markstrom leading league in shut outs. Tkachuk - dont need to say much. Andersson, young RHD playing top 4 minutes- the second rounder that was traded to the flames for Baertschi Yeah im partly joking, but at the same time its frustrating to see. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be cool to bring back our first ever draft pick to try and get us out of this mess. His name is one I have heard people suggest as a potential option for team president. Personally I think Tallon has a good hockey mind but would best suited for a consultant role or "president of hockey operations" as opposed to team president much like Brian Burke was a few years back with the Flames. All in all the intent would be to help get the right staff in place to help this team succeed. Edited November 24, 2021 by GB5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 The defenders are getting desperate - fear change - new gm will blow it up - it’s not JBs fault lol that’s ones hilarious. remember the give them 20 games now it’s give him 2 more years. - rebuild really only started 2 years ago acceptance of failure Followed by pathetic excuses. mandatory requirements to be in the JB fan club. He’s even failed to make the team a fringe wildcard team which has been his mission statement since the day he was hired. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd like to bring in an over all person or company that specializes in analysing management system. However, however if Aquaman is n't going to listen or pay heed what would b the point. The name that keeps thrown around is Mike Forde Quote Over the past four years Mike has built a powerhouse business consulting around building high performance teams and ‘Talent Factories’ for over 30 professional teams across five global sports. Through his extensive work Mike has created a clear methodology around building high performance environments and leading talent that is repeatable and scalable for teams and companies anywhere to take their organizations to the next level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he has the perfect personality and resume to take on that role. Well respected around the league and could probably bring in a top notch GM and coach. Rutherford is a joke of a GM. I'd rather keep Benning than get that old codger 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, at this rate, they've fully taken the sweater off our backs and put the orcas on themselves. It is interesting to think about where this team would be if we still had Tanev, Markstrom and Toffoli. Tanev especially. Whether it's actually them not on the team or the current team's character since, it's also interesting that their departures seem to have been the inflection point for this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why JB just committed Xmill per season for two season to green. Would you be ok letting the guy that just hired a guy fire the same guy that you now have to pay for another 1.5 years not to work for you. I wouldn’t be but then again I would have fired the idiot who hired him. Or give him the option to stay but has to pay the guy he hired and 4 months later fired. #firejb #firegreen #selltheteam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you think that during the bubble playoffs? For sure goaltending was relied upon but the team looked to finally turn the corner. The last 12 months has been the most defining point for JB's future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKE GILLIS. Blah! Not a fan of the Gillis era. He struggled to do trades with other GMs. Lots of speculation about that as he was hired given his background as a player agent. People here hate the idea of JB giving away draft picks, but the Gillis era draft record was very poor. The cupboards were bare when Gillis departed. This isn't to say JB would be better, but I personally do not want to see Gillis back. The people I miss the most is AV, Bieksa, Sedins, Burrows.....and Kesler in some respect (but not others). Accountability was alive then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
