This list is part of the core of what I intend to be a featured topic on the Calgary Flames hockey club. As there have been only five general managers in Flames history, I do not believe this list is large enough to qualify as a featured list, thus I am bringing it here for a formal review. The prose is my primary concern, and given how short the article is overall, I am hoping for some effective feedback on what I can do to ensure this list is of the highest quality possible.

- Watch the POV language:
"the formerly inept Leafs quickly developed into playoff contenders""while Leeman scored only 11 goals in a Flames uniform"- Awww, c'mon. Everyone knows the Leafs are inept. ;) The point of the statements were to highlight just how drastically that deal altered the fortunes of both teams. I'll revise the statements.
"during which the Flames qualified for the playoffs just once"- That didn't seem overly POV to me... would "only once" work better?
"The team also won it's first playoff series in 15 years" "it's"-->its.- Bah, fixed.
"Doug Risebrough succeeded Fletcher in 1991 and quickly paired up with Fletcher to complete a ten-player deal, the largest in NHL history." Confusing, if Risebrough succeeded Fletcher, why did he team up with him?- Because it takes two to tango, so to speak. I'll revise.
Why does ref 2 say: "Insert Calgary Herald newspaper link here"?- Because I'm an idiot. When I wrote the paragraph, I knew what the reference said, but didn't have a copy of that specific article handy. That was a note to myself to complete that citation, which I promptly forgot about. It shall be fixed.
