Fear of UFAs leaving and/or not signing here is a pretty understandable, so when a player chooses Calgary you don't want it to look (or feal) like they're no longer needed and treated like meat.
Just my view of the messaging.

Genuine question and I don't mean this as cutting at all and I appreciate it's a hypothetical anyways, but if Kadri and Coleman both come out and say "nope, my family likes it here, I know you have offers but I want to stay, don't care what's best for the team" do you feel as though the Flames need to and/or should to keep them?
