He wanted a contract that was usually reserved for 1st rounders, the Flames didn't want to set a precedent by caving and said no. They tried to trade his rights at the last minute to Toronto, but they missed the deadline. It was joked about that the fax machine broke or something, but I am not sure if that was true.
