One of my buddies non-Flames fan says from an outsiders perspective it looks clear the Hamilton signing was a shot across the bow at the Gio camp, that they would have known of his demands then, and it also gives them contingency should he not sign. Also reiterated we did quite well without him getting to and in the playoffs and don't think management didn't notice that.
When he was saying that I couldn't help but wonder why I hadn't thought of that? Because I like Gio the player but the business side of me wasn't coming to terms...
If this is hardball, don't think business sense won't take over. We got a good thing going here with or without him.
