No one is saying the contract we just took back is a good one. I doubt anyone is arguing that it's even better than the bad one we shipped out.
Something fishy indeed. Treliving is by all accounts a shrewd negotiator.
If nothing else this adds another story to this upcoming season. Looks bad on the Flames now, but I am curious how it plays out.
I've been thinking it for a while, but don't want to make up rumours, I wonder if James Neals injury last season was actually a symptom of a more serious chronic problem. Pure speculation of course, but it would make sense on a couple of fronts.
