Otherwise players wouldn't be taking NTCs and NMCs to play here. Events like the Ference trade, the Phaneuf trade and the Jokinen/Prust fiasco leave players with a bad taste in their mouth. They want to play here, but are worried about getting the rug yanked from under them, so if they are going to give up money they want an NTC. And once you give it to a couple of guys, the new guys signing deals know that they will be the first targets for rebuilding the team. So no one signs without an NTC. <br /><br />I was hoping the change in the front office would correct this, but between Glencross and Erixon, it is apparently going to take more than just a change in GM.<br /><br />-TachAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853674483927136845.post-52948711953292526222011-06-06T14:28:31.839-06:002011-06-06T14:28:31.839-06:00wi...didn't know it was that bad, but that sca...wi...didn't know it was that bad, but that scary nugget of info bring back thoughts of Pronger and Deadmonton. I mean I can see it being bad for some players but it can't be THAT bad.

Who knows, maybe the Flames will ditch the retro alternates for the flame breathing horse alternate. Sounds like a marketing ploy right up the Feast's alley.KingJafihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061390305989850425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853674483927136845.post-21052033767496776992011-06-06T13:35:18.542-06:002011-06-06T13:35:18.542-06:00i will post my take at some point, but the coles n...i will post my take at some point, but the coles notes version of it is that nobody wanted to take the GM job, here, which left it ultimately in Feaster's lap. I've also heard that alot of players, despite the "good word" on calgary, also don't want to play here (and that Erixon was one of few who held the cards). this last frightening thought explains why daz handed out NTCs like pizza at chuck e cheese.walkinvisiblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874510508773958406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853674483927136845.post-16990338295131224112011-06-06T13:26:05.522-06:002011-06-06T13:26:05.522-06:00But I don't wanna think about it!
