If Edmonton wants to pay a 5-6th to get his traditional rights and sign that 7 year deal early, fine.
If they’re looking for a new precedent to be set by us completing an NBA style Sign & Trade then Edmonton needs to pay up. Teams have guys walk for free every year, that’s kinda how ufa works.
Maybe management values their relationships with Edmonton’s divisional and conference rivals (all 15! Of them) vs appeasing Ken Holland because well that’s the nice guy thing to do.
I can get behind this argument for sure. It makes sense unlike other BS by other folks
