How do you think owner approval of contracts works? Every contract comes with a position and a price. For all I know the Flames had maxed the preseason budget.
OTOH, I heard Edwards once tell a GM he could sign whoever he wanted. the precise words were “It’s your budget”. Of course, there was an undercurrent as well.
