The buck stops with BT but he doesn’t have final say. Its a tough spot if (and its an if) ownership is involved. If they are, and said do whatever it takes, against BT advice then its an awful spot to be in.

So its hard to lay blame, assuming anyone else would have been able to do things differently. With an owner(s) and very successful and sting willed ones at that, your not able to operate.

As difficult as it is, because as humans we want a person to blame, I think this is an organization breakdown at some level. At least until facts ever come out, and I bet when they do it will be blunders all round. JG misleading Flames, BT not setting a deadline, ownership meddling, etc.

A good org steps back and learns lessons, but after how Iginla was handled (allowing him to jerk them 11th hour too) I doubt they do anything different.
