When it comes to possible transactions, yes. Background research? Debatable.

Generally true, unless you have a good relationship with the referee...then they are likely to give you some good info (OTR of course). Between Neal and this, it is fair to ask if he has built those relationships. Of course it's hard to have them across all 30 teams, so maybe just bad luck to have no good connections in LVK, NAS, CAR, or CHI.

Adequate severance being full pay for his contract in this case. The Flames definitely do not hand out money like candy - it may seem like it for players, but their liability is totally mitigated by the CBA. They seem to cheap out on front office/mgmt.
