So if it has never happened before it can never happen in the future?
Like I said there was discussion with the Leafs/Oilers on Hyman and teams couldn’t agree on value. Flat cap makes things tough GM’s need to be creative and I think this is a fairly creative solution. Not the one I want as I want Johnny to be a Flame for 8 more years but if that is not the case I would prefer a proven 25 year old (who has asked for a trade) over a draft pick, or nothing at all.
