Their only control is to kill any deal that puts the larger future of the team at risk, but that would require them to second guess the GM and make a hockey related decision, which they have not done in the past. If they truly have entrusted the control over the enterprise to the GM, they will only be concerned about signing checks.
What happens if this swing for the fences turns into an infield fly and decimates the system? Will you still be around to cheer on the league's punching bag for the next five to 10 years? I'm talking about a team worse than the Young Gun days.

I'm 36 and have been a Flames fan since '89... I've never felt more apathy for this team than I have this season (apathy started for the first time following Colorado series). I honestly don't care what they do as long as they take a sledgehammer to the core. Rebuild or break the bank for Eichel. It can't get any worse for me at this point.
