Think the drug speculation is completely misplaced.
What I think is the guy saw at the prospect camp that his career with the Flames was winding down and the writing was on the wall.
His salary was $67k and it was likely his last hockey related paycheck that he was most likely to collect in Alaska.
Question likely became does he spend another year unhappy while in the minors or does he get a jump start on the rest of his life away from hockey.
