Dunno, people say, that he wasn't in NHL shape, but it could be that he just doesn't have NHL body. He simply couldn't handle intensity and physicality of NHL. I know about blood problems and all, but him not even trying free agency with off-season training and full camp, and that 48 games in 99 days comments hint that maybe he knows he doesn't have natural fitness for NHL. I'm no expert, but maybe if Flames conducted extensive physical/natural fitness tests on Cervenka before offering contract, they could avoid this sigining.
