I can't imagine they would have matched the salary we offered him. Based on his performance last year with the Leafs he was due a raise, plus we know he was keen to come back to Calgary last season when he arrived at camp on a try-out basis. If we hadnt just acquire Galiardi I think Raymond would have earned himself a year-long deal then.
Who knows if the Leafs offered him anything, but if they did I doubt it would have been anywhere near our offer. They signed Santorelli to a $1.5 million 1yr contract to replace Raymond and I'm sure they're pretty happy with that.
I bet Mason Raymond is really happy to be a Flame.
