Players were willing to come here. NTC were not an issue.
It's not just the UFAs but in any case, Calgary was see as a good place to be at. Any player that rejected a trade to the Flames then?
What Sutter turned them in to matters little. My point is that Treliving is a bargain bin shopper that complains about prices being to high, contract wise or trade. Players don't want to go to a place that likes to nickle and dime you.
That screams the priority is budget and not winning.
