We can't ever know his motivation level except how you judge his interviews. Motivation level is not a hockey skill like skating, puck handling, puck protection, etc.
Sure fine. But its not BS - but rather its just speculation that you and others don't agree with. Just about everything written on this forum is 'wild speculation' and just because you don't like or agree with someone else's speculation here doesn't make it BS.

As but one example, we don't know exactly what transpired between Iginla and Flames brass when he was shipped out, but are you trying to tell me that most of what has been written on CP about that doesn't try to get into motivations of one party or another in that situation. Come on now.
