Not calling you out directly, but rather I’m pointing of how seriously ingrained and wrong this line of thinking is in professional sports. Over the course of several decades, the professional sports world has seen countless examples of this. In high school and college level football where turning a blind eye to trash behaviour in favour of winning. Obviously with the most recent example brought to light this past summer in Chicago.
Heads would roll if companies of other industries ran their organizations in a similar fashion.
I have faith that the Flames org have the ability in identifying these potential problem trades. Any teams willing to take on this trade screams they lack any integrity to me. As others have mentioned, you’re literally bringing in a cancer into a team.
I understand, like all business, the goal is to make money, but to prioritize success, winning any any means necessary doesn’t fly in my book.
It also goes to show how it’s deeply accepted by fans in order to feel pride in the teams we cheer for to achieve success.
