Dreading Calgary having to have the same mentality.
Pretty much what we tried doing with Iginla/Regehr/Kiprusoff/etc. I get it if you think you are close, then you go for it. I wasn't ok with it when it was obvious we need to rebuild, but went for it anyways with Brad Richards.

We also tried cheating the system by back diving contracts, we were the first... but lets not that get in the way of all the Mike Richards whining.
