If it helped the just get in and anything can happen narrative, I do. I don't think Edwards is a cheap owner though. He meddles but regularly spends to the cap, buys out players, fire coaches, and started retaining. Not sure he'd pony up an extra 25 million but I think he'd do something.
The Flames have never been in a spot to really abuse LTIR. A GM has to be confident that his squad will make the playoffs without important pieces playing.
