That is my whole point. Right now the Flames have the power, and they need to use that power and not allow the player to control his fate.
Once we let the summer pass without a trade or signing(yuck) the power shifts to Andersson and it will likely end up being the Hanifin situation with an agent working in the background actively trying to sabotage trades.
