The odds are he is probably going to call it a career at the end of the year anyway (which would probably make more teams want him). If he's under contract and is traded and doesn't report to the other team, that's nothing more than quitter. Now is the time the Flames need him the most, he would do more good for this team if he played on another team and for him to just turn his back on this team is just dishonest. If it's true, I don't know how anyone could still think positive of him.
It is putting family first rather than moving he is ready to walk away from the $1.5M on his deal. Not ideal for a flames fan but I still think positively of him and do not want to fault him for putting his family over work at this stage. I still think he is in the NHL for 2-3 years and he might be moved at the draft. I get why you are mad but if I was financially stable and ending my career and my work asked me to relocate I would probably decline if it wasn't the right move for my family
