It’s like thinking you still have a shot with a girl, on her wedding day, because the ceremony hasn’t started yet.

Fire this simp of a GM already.
I enjoy your analogy, it made me laugh (it really did). But I'm failing to see the significance or difference it would have made, giving up on the girl (continuing your analogy) a few days before her wedding day vs. a couple of hours before the ceremony in this case.

Not sure I'm sweating giving up on the return we would have gotten for Johnny's rights from one of the 4 teams that would instantly know they could have him for free (asset wise) in a week. Not sure what difference it made to the Flames in the grand scheme of things.
