Not that it's excusable, the Flames brass basically insured that any contract we sign would have to come with an NTC with their clear lack of direction. Anyone signing here knows that this thing could go south any minute and ownership might wake up in fires ale mode once they come to their sense. Any free agent would be kicking themselves if months after having some choice of destinations the Flames ended up shipping them out to a spot they don't want to play.
Flames lack of ability to recognize the situation they have been in has not only caused us to spin in circles for the past couple of years, its also prolonged the pain by having to dish out NTCs to rediculous players like Sarich and Babchuck. Even low end players know this place is looney tunes and demand NTCs just in case management wakes up one day and realizes they suck.
