If this is in fact the case, I have no problem with the Flames not making this deal.

1. We likely would have overpaid to get him.
2. The cost, in terms of what we would have to give up in prospects and/or picks would not be worth what Seguin would bring to the team.
3. If his partying truly is that much of an issue, he's not the guy you want around a team full of young, impressionable players during a full-scale rebuild.

I may be in the minority here, but I can't help but wonder if we dodged a bullet on this one.
