Can't blame the owners for this.
Huge risk and no reward. It is a business after all.
Tavares broke his leg at the 2014 Olymics, and the Isles lost him for the rest of the season.
Imagine if the Flames were in the heat of a division battle next year, and lost Gaudreau for the rest of the season and playoffs because he got hurt at the Olympics playing for the USA? We would be crushed, especially us Canadian Flames fans.
