make July 1st a complete non news day.

If the Flames literally do nothing tomorrow I won't be upset, if I was a GM I'd have a $5M and 5 year max on any outside UFAs
Yes, I totally agree.

As a fan I love free agency day because of all the player movement. I'm always in the mountains on Canada day and I'm always finding the best place for reception so I can check out to see what the Flames are doing. As a fan it's fun.

However, I don't follow the Flames to see what they do on Canada day. I follow them because I love the sport of hockey. I want to see my team do well on the ice. Adding a player for double the aav and term on FA just to say you got somebody is not going to help the team in the long run.
