The guy could be a little ticked off. Traded to Calgary, plays with the Flames, then sent to Abbotsford, then bumped in and out of the lineup based on a rookie's play. Plus, he's been to three different NHL teams in less then a year and hasn't stuck yet. Could just be him figuring that's enough now. He's 24, he's got his health, he's probably got a little bit of money, time to walk away and get a real job/education.
From what I've been told, it's team discretion.
