Hell if I know....and actually we don't know that it was the Flames that walked away. Could have been NJ that had a change of heart.

We just don't know who nor why even though many see something written somewhere and run with it like gospel.

Like the whole Friedman thing this morning....his quote is "someone" told him it wasnt about retention but about the team playing well as the reason the trade never occurred.

Easily debunked as the team was not playing well at the time, and more importantly, whoever the "someone" is, doesnt make it fact or even possibly true. Yet you will probably see it debated over and over again like it was Conroy making that pronouncement.

Its a fascinating study in how bias works into the human condition though.
