Pretty much this. I would also add 2 things.
1) as a rental player, he is not a cheap rental player.
2) he has a NMC. Flames have a chance for the playoffs and he is getting top 4 minutes. No team trading for him is going to give him top 4 minutes. He would be lucky to be a constant #6 on some stanley cup contenders. IMO him accepting a trade to another team, learning a new system and not adjusting well to it, would probably be the final dagger in him not getting a cheap contract for next year. ( granted that dagger might have already been planted)
