I would think these things would have to happen to prevent the new team and player from agreeing to a deal in principle but then telling the flames they would not sign a deal so the new team could get the player at the rental cost… only to end up signing him to an extension later.

Some framework for a trade would need to be in place, but I don't see why the Flames would need to be "in the room" on the extension talk. That isn't any of their business.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
