I also think this is a big thing for team morale. When a GM goes out to get you and says "I believe in you" you are not only loyal to that franchise, you'll play your guts out for them. This is also how you create a good culture around your dressing room.
I think guys like Sharangovich and Kylington know that they have the trust of the head office here, and are thankful for that trust. It goes a long way to creating a good team.

I wanted the Flames to snag Montour so bad before he found himself in FLA
