Because you don't let pride or a rivalry get in the way of strengthening our rebuild? And you're acquiring a valuable asset - a second round pick?? First of all, they'll find someone to take on a contract like that with a payment to do so, so most likely they'd get rid of him whether it's us or someone else, so it should be us.
And secondly, even if we were the only team to take on a bad contract for a pick or two, I'd still do it because I'm a Flames fan and I want the Flames to be a contender down the road. That happens with more bullets in the chamber. And a 2nd round pick for Cody Ceci would be found money.
