That’s the bigger thing for me too. He compiled scouting reports and lists of players to target through trade or free agency, while on the Flames dime. Probably the same lists that the Flames management is also working off of going into the off-season. Now they are going to be competing against Treliving and the Leafs for these resources, and we know which market has the upper hand there. He also knows the inside info on which players may want out and can lowball the Flames based on that info.
That’s why I didn’t mind if the Flames prevented him from talking to other teams. It’s different if a GM is fired, but he chose to leave.
