In the summer I was excited about the possibility but as it has gone along I have floated between malaise over the whole affair with a sprinkling of anger at Adams for putting business ahead of a young person's health (just my opinion). He's a great player but I don't see the point in gutting the whole team to acquire him. You are acquiring him to compete not become Buffalo west.
The assets the Flames have been able to offer were probably always on the table and I doubt that has changed with the start the team has had (not that I know what is being offered but I doubt that has changed much). I wonder if Adams was waiting to see if Calgary or Vegas would flinch if the team started slow and perhaps Vegas has flinched.
