Chad Billins’ equipment has barely dried from the sweat — or maybe it’s the champagne — of a Calder Cup championship run.
So it’s hard to criticize the Calgary Flames’ latest acquisition if he’s not ready to return to the ice just yet.
Only three weeks removed from a championship run with the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins, the 24-year-old blueliner won’t attend the Flames’ development camp later this week at WinSport’s Markin MacPhail Centre.
“They invited me, and I want to come, but I just didn’t feel like I was physically prepared,” Billins said. “It was a long season, and to jump back right into it when we’ve only been done for a few weeks … they understood.”
