Talk to me when it happens. Until then it's all a pipe dream.

Also, how do you reconcile your view while also taking the fact the Flames are paying Sutter ~$4M for this year and next to not coach? A lot of people here, yourself included I believe, think Edwards hired Sutter and not Treliving. Why wouldn’t the Flames retain on their UFA’s and/or potentially a player with term (Markstrom)?
Terminations are different from retaining salary so a player can ply his trade for another team that can do damage to yours. Terminations while paying the remainder of the contract take the individual out of the mix to work for anyone other than you. Retention has you paying for someone to play/work against you. Not how the Flames or Edwards works. Is this issue too complex for you to understand? I don't understand how you conflate two very different situations and present them as the same thing?
