Think he's a great player that had untapped potential the entire time here that the Flames didn't fully take advantage of. But he wasn't one of those pissed to lose kind of guys ala chucky. And he didn't need to be but that and some edge would really turn him into a guy you win with on your first pairing. Just so gentle for a guy with his frame. I don't give a rat's ass about what he's into. If it's not bars then I find that better than whatever the norm is supposed to be. But sounds like pride for the team and city was lacking, and own interests and getting to play with his brother which seemed like a favor to him more than anything earned to begin with (that the team never shouldve needed to do) and leaving without meeting with the team or media on the way out isn't being a team player and raises a red flag undoubtedly.
