With some of them having girlfriends and wives, there's only a few single guys, and it's the first time I've lived alone...it's kind of just adjusting to that."

It just might not have been the best fit for a young kid like him on a team full of veterans. On a young team like ours, I'm sure he'll thrive.
Agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if he accepted a ck tract similar to the one offered by the Bruins. Maybe the Flames go another million on the AAV and go the full 7 or 8 years they are allowed to go.

I think there is some truth that Dougie wanted out of Boston and coming to a team with core players in his age range is something I think he really wanted

Johnny, Monahan, Bennett, Brodie, Colborne, Jooris, Shore, Granlund, Backlund, Bouma, Ferland all in that 19-26 age range
