He is going to be a Flame. The Avs can't trade him before the deadline next year and have to qualify him at $6.5M and with the bad taste of this current negotiation he will walk as a UFA next summer. Also with Ladeskog and Duchene due new contracts the Avs have to be concerned about that.

I am not sure the Flames have to pay him $6.5M next summer (2014) they can work out a long term deal well before that.
