If we could just zap our roster and get great rules to draft players from other teams the ability to shake down half the league so they can have you pick a player they don’t want drafted do you think it would be fair to use that as an example ?

You can skirt the question all you want, just like the rider fan. How will the Flames get the elite talent ?

Or maybe you like the Sutter model feee agent shopping for scraps just to back into a 8tj place finish to get destroyed. Or the Treliving when you push your chips in when a fluke playoff appearance happens with a roster with players like David Jones, Joe Colbourne having career years.
