Besides the fact that its not always the NHL's job to protect teams from themselves, I don't think they particularly like big, overpaid contracts driving up player salaries after we JUST had a lockout to try and get salaries out of control. So, if a team (i.e. Flames) try and blow their brains out, its not the NHL's job to make sure they do carry it out.
