Exec is different then acquiring players IMO. Whichever team CMD went to would almost be viewed as a clean state that you can architect around. As a GM, its a very attractive situation to be in. (Minus Edmonton being in cap jail by their 6x6)

Not sure the same applys as much to players, all good players will get the same dollar/term contracts - this might give Edmonton a slight edge, but you won't see any $$/term discount because of it.
