^ 100% agree. Someday he's leaving, and the competitiveness of the Flames at the end of this contract determines when.
Hopefully, the Flames are a team he wants to be a part of when it's time to re-sign. But I've always though (and am 100% cool with) him retiring wearing the jersey he always dreamed of. Hopefully, when that time comes, he's earned the hell out of that distinction! Maybe after a career with the Flames he decides he's wearing the jersey he wants to wear after all!
