The Flames clearly had that on Neal. It could be because they think it's only going to get worse. It's only going to get worse with his opportunity in Calgary, or they completely misread his personality and effect on the locker room.

But get out if you deem it bad.
Although I guess in this case, you lost basically everything by the time you got out of it. Unfortunately not a very liquid market for recently signed big money 30+ year old forwards who look like they’d prefer to be doing something else.
