Maybe, though.

I can see him not wanting to move. He gave up money for the contractual control.

He's in a good situation in Calgary with one year until free agency. Why uproot the family twice in one year just to go to a strange new team.

Maybe he feels like he has unfinished business in Calgary, he's always seemed like a pretty loyal soldier.

A lot of guys DONT want to play in their hometowns.

I dunno, I respect a guy who wants to stay and be part of the solution.

It sucks because his contract is only a problem in so far as it relates to being moveable compared to the albatross's around him. It's not like he's a cap anchor, he's a contributing roster player that needs to get moved because no one wants the non contributing guys.
