There's nothing dumb about the rule. The Lightning have been trying to get an answer out of the Stamkos camp this weekend to whether he's going to test the market. I imagine these comments pissed then off big time. I think people may be surprised about how hard the Canucks get dealt with as you can't have teams publicly admitting they have an offer in store for players under contract with another team.
How would Flames fans feel if the Flames were in contract discussions with Gaudreau and Bruins came out publicly saying they were very interested in him? You know that would be pulling at the heart strings of the Gahdreau family and put the Flames at a disadvantage in negotiations. You simply can't have this.
