Reasons not to be scared:
1. I doubt that BT shares much with media. So no one outside of Flames management knows what the real roster plans are.
2. Any rumours are being generated from leaks on other teams, some like Ottawa and agents love to blab.
3. BT calls everyone and talks to everyone about everything as part of his superhuman diligence on what is happening and what things are worth.
So I think a lot of these rumours are misinterpreting BT's usual cycle of activity. Frankly if deals were to be had on any of the stuff BT has called other teams about, I think the deals would be done before a rumour even got started.
IMO he is decisive and probably knows what he is willing to pay for any roster player in the NHL that would improve the Flames. I think he has the discipline to walk away from over payments and not look back.
