PLEASE, since you are closer to "the know" than anyone, seek clarification about how exactly the process of seeking UFA's usually unfolds!


In other words, if a GM is looking to sign a guy like Arnott (just for example) do they offer a specific dollar amount with a time limit for acceptance attached (which gives the player a chance to shop around)???  Or, are these things usually much more sudden (for the sake of keeping the 'bid price' a secret from other GM's)??? 


And-o can't help but think that playing one GM against another GM is what drives prices artificially higher!


What protection does a GM have against a guy pulling an Eric Lindros "double signing" on him???  (And-o is surprised that more agents don't try to drag more GM's along...kinda like a crack dealer rations crack amongst addicts!!!) 


Did And-o make himself clear enough Mario???

That's a good question, andrew.  but you gotta think that if an agent did take a gm for a ride, word would spread and he'd probably get his share of trouble after.

Figs...And-o see's your point...but perhaps the GM's are able to reverse this tactic when trading a player???  In other words, Kevin Lowe could (just for example) sort of kite the worth Chris Pronger along from phone call to phone call (using a sort of emotion blackmail and/or fear of the "other guy" outbidding him for a player) in order to fleece as much as possible out of an asset.


...interesting stuff! 


And-o would bet almost anything though that owners do collude (and undermine certain players positions) financially!!!  It truly must be a dirty, dirty business!!! 


Gaw'd And-o would just LOVE it!!!  In fact, he'd step over his own mother to be a part of it!!!
