the fact that it's Vegas pobably sours me on the deal quite a bit. Especially since there's additional layers to that (we own their 1st and now improve their team, plus there's retention). In isolation, I think it's maybe an okay deal, but that's about it. 1st is probably going to be late, ditto the 2nd. No C prospect to be found. Whitecloud is a decent guy to plug in, but maybe a bit of an odd fit as another RD. Doesn't fit our timeline either. If you can flip him for more assets, great. Otherwise I'm not so sure what the plan is here.
It just absolutely blows that an extension wasn't going to be a part any deal. Question is, will the Flames ever learn? Can't make the same mistake yet again with Coleman.
