This article also makes me appreciate just how lucky we are to have BT making trades. The returns he's gotten on some of the players he's sold, and the bargain prices on the players he's brought in.
Very lucky to have both in the organization.

Even if you like him you have to admit he's a blowhard.
I like the part of the article that says GM's aren't out there trying to fleece other GM's. I like that attitude. The best business deals are the ones that work for everybody. I guess it would be great to take advantage of another GM for benefit of the Flames, like Fletcher did to Riser, but it's a small community of executives that probably aren't out to screw the other guy for the most part.
