A guy that's very happy he gets to play in the playoffs and will probably also mention how even if he wins a cup, he will not be coming back to a rebuilding team.

That's really not an all encompassing truth, unless you are somehow able to prove that no decent veteran player has ever wanted to play on a team that is near the bottom trending upwards.
I mean hey, we did sign players this summer, they must all just think we're going to win the cup eh?
Edmonton, Columbus, Florida, Colorado. They all SOMEHOW managed to sign decent veteran players while being in a rebuilding phase. So your comment is totally off base and indicative of low level thinking.
As for what you assume he'll say (because you're the all knowing mind reader), I would counter with this: Why would he come back? If he leaves, what is for him here? He'd have been traded most likely, and owes Calgary nothing. It's not like Iginla who people hoped would come back some day because he meant this or that to the franchise, it's Cammi. Whoopteedoo. It's not like he'd have to say he wasnt coming back, because who the hell would expect him to? Do we all just sit around expecting every traded player to come back until they tell us otherwise?
Yeesh.
