Its not like the Flames were solely responsible for ruining his career or anything, he was paid well and produced little.
I refrained at times at piling on but the truth is that this buyout is all on him. If he just meets or comes close to 20/20 which is what he was averaging for a while up to the signing he is still a Flame today but he was just awful. Six goals in 76 games is paethetic when you consider he was afforded first unit powerplay opportunities. Every team has an AHL player or two that they can plug in and match or exceed production as he’s a replacement level player.
