I have to admit I am kind of torn, if this is indeed true. On one hand, having just had a baby and being (potentially) a few months away from retirement, I could see the guy not wanting to have to make a move now. But on the other hand, is having to live out of a hotel for 1-3 months and maybe only seeing your family and new baby a handful of times really a good enough reason to not honour the contract you signed..? I honestly am not sure, but I lean towards no.
I get wanting to be around a new kid as much as possible, but reality is the Flames are on the road more then they're at home for the rest of this season, I mean really we're probably talking about an extra 5-10 days (until the end of the regular season anyways) he would be away from home if traded.
