On the surface he may be a fit, mainly because of the local connection. In terms of the player attributes, he’s a poor fit based on what has been identified as being priorities for the Flames
- Hockey sense (they want it – he doesn’t have it)
- Play tough (he doesn’t do this)

He’s got speed and that’s about it. And the Flames are actually deep at his position (relatively speaking) so bringing him would probably mean less opportunity for a young player.

The fact he is still out there, says a lot about how he is valued around the league.

I would be OK with bringing him on an uber-bargain deal, but overall there isn’t much of a fit here.
