I'm sure someone can point out the flaws in that, and the risk, but its just a passing thought (I'm not married to it and won't argue with anyone that pokes holes in the idea LOL)

I just don't think that is a realistic hammer for the Flames to play. It is far riskier for the Flames than it is for MT. This is such a unique situation. It would be incredibly interesting to have an inside look into what each party is thinking.
