You want more money? You have to sacrifice some Trade Control.

Give and take. Not like Treliving handing out Trade Control like those nickel candies in those stupid globe dispensing machines that have been there since the Nixon administration.
Every GM (including Treliving) understands this. Premium UFA's generally get full trade control, or they don't sign.

Who is to say that contracts that Calgary signed with lesser trade control did not have less AAV?
