If the Flames want to have one of the lowest payrolls in the league, so be it. But at least make sure every dollar goes to a player who is on the Flames.
On a long term deal, yes I agree. However, a $2m Hudler on an expiring deal would have every would-be contender from here to Kalamazoo throwing their hat in on that action. In this particular instance, it could in fact be very, very good for business.
