I don't buy this 'well he said he wasn't going to sign" business as an excuse for dumping him for a pick. They eroded his value and therefor shouldn't get the easy out. The Flames should have traded him for a similar struggling prospect needing a new environment, the team has enough picks in this draft that they would have been better off gambling on a player who is further along in the development cycle with a little more certainty than gambling at the draft.
