Well everyone's sitting here cheering on Murray Edwards for this supposed victory in the negotiation ring but the only thing this highlights for me is:
1.) Players do not want to play here, even if they are payed over market value.
2.) We have ownership team who gets involved in the salary negotiations of even the most valuable team members. edit: and when I mean "get involved", I mean that they drive the outcome. How does this look for prospective free agents?
Ouch. Calgary takes the L here.
This is a tough pill to swallow for me.
