I think you have to accept that the turmoil in the Flames this year didn't help either, the kid was drafted by a cup contendor with a massive commitment to defense, which goes along way to make up for the distance from family and the small market canadian city effect.
Now the Flames are a transitional team looking likely to go into a rebuild much less challange for a cup. A far less attractive team to play for in all honesty.
