So, benching likely doesn’t do anything now either.
It’s likely the biggest misstep in franchise history, and there is no way out of it.

not every one likes the salary cap, but i do, it makes teams accountable for the decisions they make, the Rangers/Leafs cant just continue to spend as much as they want, not that they won anything in that system either. As a flames fan this sucks a lot but i had no problem with teams like the Oilers signing Nurse and getting in cap trouble, so i think the same with the Flames, nobody forced them to sign him before he ever played a game. the fact that the player can mail it in and screw the team over doesnt seem right, not sure what the answer is.
