Ha ha. You could see from his point of view that his introductory season in the NHL was a little bit of a sh$t show.
Not a big deal though. The Flames tried and it was a low risk, high reward scenario. If it didn't work out no big deal and if it did it would have been coup to get a solid player in his prime without giving anything up or going through the developement. He did show skills but at the end of the day he would have had to put a lot of work into his body and overall game to have a long NHL career. He went back to what was more familiar and comfortable and that's fine. He seemed at least like a good person and never complained when he was benched and playing 4th line. Good luck to him and his family.
