I certainly agree that he was never put in much of a position to succeed, and I think the Flames org failed him, which is surprising since they've handled so many others very well.
In any case it doesn't much matter now...for whatever reason his value has decreased considerably and the chances of him being an impact player with the Flames are getting smaller and smaller. Not all players should be treated equally no matter what nonsense many people like to spout.
Hopefully he can gain some traction next season.
