Mixed feelings. I would have like to see him go out like Iginla in the playoffs battling for a chance at the cup but instead he's going to go out in the same fashion as Mike Vernon and Grant Fuhr did with the Flames. Quietly and meekly on a bad team.
I don't think he would have fetched a big trade return given his poor play this year so I'm not going to complain about not getting whatever late pick he would have fetched. I can understand why he wouldn't want to move to another team when it seems his heart hasn't been in the NHL all season.
At least he will get a proper sendoff which is a reason to watch the last game of the season.
