It's worth considering why the team that knew him best let him go for picks when it was time to pay him big money.

Revisionist history, and completely inaccurate.
Boston tried very hard to sign him, and offered him more money than the Flames signed him for. The only reason they traded him was because they knew he was going to sign an offer sheet anyway. By trading him, they got a marginally better return.
But go ahead and make up whatever supports your narrative.
