My guess is this is the issue.
He's 22. Has 1 point in 20 games in the AHL last year. When you show up to camp and now dozens of kids who are younger than you have passed you, you begin to see your future with the club. Probably goes from a situation where Flames management is eager to have you there and paying all sorts of attention, to one where they akwardly greet you with a "oh...you're here again".
Best of luck Ryan Howse. That leaves us with Ortio as our only hope of becomming an NHL player from the 2009 draft.
