3. His cap hit is low, making him attractive to other teams that are in cap trouble.
4. He is still relatively young
5. The Flames do not need his production right now. Once the team is competitive in 3-4 years, he will be post-apex.

I don't know if he thinks he is a 1st line LW. If he did then why was his hometown discount so freakin' low? If he thought he was a 1st liner he would have signed for a lot more, even with a home town discount. If the team disagreed with his assessment of himself, he would have likely got mad at the team and walked away, even though he would prefer to stay here.
