The vibe I got from the scene with Tyrion and the Wise Masters was very Munich 1938-y. Smart people trying to avoid (or in this case end) war by compromising with an enemy they didn’t fully understand was hell bent on total domination.

would cap recapture still apply as well? For example, would the Blackhawks be off the cap recapture hook with Marian Hossa if they decided not to protect him and he was drafted by an expansion team?
