No, they're projecting their players. Minor risk, massive reward. If you can't correctly project the players you are/you have built your team around, you're a bad organization.
ComixZone makes the point I was trying to with Lindholm. If the league is moving toward big second deals instead of waiting until UFA then the Flames either need to get on board or they'll become even less desirable for players.
