In Calgary the building of a champion will be an interesting road. The roster is a polarized mix of veterans and youth. I have looked at the direction of the previous administration and though I understand what they were trying to accomplish, I feel the strategy and execution would've taken longer than my plan for the franchise.
The Flames were going with a bandaid fix n goal until we landed a true starter. Last yr we collected all the Leafs goalies but this yr they got blown up and landed in different cities so that plan got killed early. Up front I was going for the mix of vets and newbies. It was a work in progress for sure. So far I like what Dtox has been doing with his moves. I can almost see what his end goal is aside from contending for the FNHL Championship.
Here is the running tally on Calgary transactions since I purchased the franchise December 12th:Acquired:C Evgeny Kuznetsov, $7.1m (2016-2020)C/LW/RW Tyler Ennis, $3.4m (2015-2018)RW Jarome Iginla, $1.7m (2016-2019)RW Matej Stransky, $0.2m (2016-2018)G Keith Kinkaid, $3.3m (2014-2017)C Carl Soderberg, $2.6m (2014-2017)D Alex Goligoski, $5.5m (2014-2018)C - Chandler Stephenson (2012: 3/77 - 9 Games)LW/C - Beau Starrett (2014: 3/88 - 0 Games)RW - T.J.

Well seeing how other managers have tracked their moves I figure it is a convenient way to map my road to success a few months from now and where it all started.
