Disagree, most people here are aware that when you trade for a long term contract you assume the risk the the player may regress for become a moron. I'm sure the Flames would love to cancel some of their less desirable contracts but it doesn't work that way.
So far we don't see NHL teams trying to cancel the contracts of good players, that should be proof enough of their true motivations. It has nothing to do with the players behavior and everything to do with cap considerations.
