The something is that a few years ago when he was launching Daily Face-off, he broke nearly every single UFA signing and trade. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that he told agents he'd carry their water in perpetuity if he got a one time monopoly on breaking news to establish his business.
Now you have players with preferred destinations without first round picks in Tanev to Vancouver and Hanifin to Tampa or Boston... And so he does what he can to repress value.
I also think doom and gloom sells in Calgary and as for Edmonton, we all know how bread gets buttered up there. If anyone has listened to their DFO show, he essentially hired fans to do that broadcast. That plays well for ownership and their fans... Because they're morons.
