-- team mates could fail to crack roster
-- team mates could be traded
- his home town team is contending for silverware and has the same sort of RW holes as other teams rumoured to be contenders for his services

therefore he will sign with the Bruins or another contending team
goal is to play for a winner, right?

Calgary is not a winner

Not yet.
