Question I'm sure I'm supposed to know the answer to:
Only the team a player is currently under contract to can sign for that extra year. Why did the Flames need to sign and trade with Matthew? Wouldn't he have then been under contract with FLA and been able to do the same? Or is it the fact he was traded in the last year preventing FLA from signing for 8?
