Edit ie if Laviolette is looking at intangibles when picking a new coaching destination, how is an FA or someone asked to waive a NTC not doing the same thing when choosing? Reputation does matter. Just my two cents.

It’s not even close to the same thing, because as I pointed out earlier in this thread, James Neal is one guy among dozens of former players who have been treated exceptionally well by the Flames and Flames fans after their departure. NHL players are not suddenly going to be galvanized by the one incident of poor James Neal getting jeered at the Saddledome. The idea is pretty silly.
