It's a dumb bet he's making.
He's trying to squeeze out an extra 50K instead of betting on himself. Each day he misses camp is an additional risk that someone takes his spot, or when he does arrive, he is behind everyone else.
Alternatively if he gets his arse to camp and has a good year - then he will set himself up for a really good NHL career and the pay that comes with it.
I view it as just terrible decision making.
Bet on yourself kid. If you think the Flames are under-valuing you - get out there and prove it to them.
