The GM community is small and if one of them plays dirty it comes back to haunt them. Hell, Burke was furious at Lowe for a legal offer sheet.

It's funny how little critical thought people apply to these notions. You can look like a superstar for five minutes in a meeting by sharing some privileged information...but then everyone realizes you can't be trusted and it's actually a negative mark on you.

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.

Then the Flames should not accept that offer. Market value is market value.

Needs a year with McKinsey to clean that up.
