Why would he not sign a long term contract with the flames? I'm not saying 6-7 years, but he was looking for a 3-4 year deal with TO at the start of negotiations, so why not Calgary?
He only went down to a 1 year contract recently when he realised that because of the cap trouble the leafs are in for this year, that it would effect the 2nd year of a 2 year deal. If the flames offered him a 2 year $3 million cap hit he would sign. He would also sign a 3 year deal for more money.
Leafs are pretty much offering him a $1.6 million a year contract for the next 2 years.
