Also- an additional note. In 99% of the cases, when you are acquiring an asset, you have to be comfortable that you had the best deal on the table whether $$$ wise or conditions wise or combination of both. If you never wanted to be the best offer, you would never make a deal.
If NJD feels like they might get upstaged due to another club upping their offer, there was never really a deal to be made in the first place since they were not clearly the best perceived deal in the marketplace.
Who knows? It might still end up getting done with NJD but Flames have every right to fully explore the marketplace to get maximum value for their asset.
