This never sat right

If you make the playoffs, maybe you’re not a favourite, but you’re in. Enough low seeds are competitive enough not to sewer the prospect of immediate multi million dollar revenue for some long term future looking lottery tickets

The Flames had enough points to make the playoffs, lost on a tie break. And more than some east playoff teams. Not a seller.

Respectfully I don’t think you have thorough understanding of the job

The job of the GM is not to maximize the value of a single specific asset based on some armchair/couch internet poster
