Is having the best goalie the Flames have ever had finish it off and retire with the team, instead of sitting on the bench in Toronto with a hangdog expression, worth more than a 7th rounder? Or an unknown prospect?
I think it is worth it to have him close it out here. Especially after this season. Waving goodbye at the end of that last home game in three weeks will be better, and far more memorable for the fans and the team, than a 7th round pick.
There's sort of a weird mentality around this. Every single player will retire. It's not some kind of organizational failure if one of them plays his final NHL game with the Flames.
