The players with the most 'give a ####' always seem to be the ones that came up through the system.
This team is not being honest with itself about what it is. Any talk of rentals to patch holes is stupid.
The contracts we signed last summer, while understand why we did it, are stupid. Each has at least 3 years of bad value and NMCs. Why didn't Edwards intervene and stop those if he is so involved in the running of the team? LOL
Sell, sell, sell! Sell high on guys! Package awesome contracts with bad ones. Move guys before MNCs kick in.

He was probably on board and, obviously, signed off on the return for the Tkachuk trade as well as the contract extensions handed out. I would also bet he was well informed on the Kadri pursuit and the moves required to make it happen.
The course to stay in a competitive window, opposed to taking a step back, or full blown rebuild, was almost certainly set by Edwards and Flames ownership.
