The last thing you want is a punchy GM just looking to get things done.
Sometimes you set it too high and you have to adjust (for that trade and for future trades). Sometimes the market dries up.
But you don't want a GM thinking "just get this done" with any asset of value in my mind.

You also don’t want to see Cammalleri walk to UFA and get nothing for him because you set an arbitrary rule to take a shot at the previous GM. Somewhere in between is good. It would be a shame if we set a price for Hanifin, Lindholm, Tanev, Backlund and then lost all 4 and at the press conference the GM says “hey, I set my price, nobody met it”.
Somewhere in-between those two awful Flames precedents would be good.
