Are you F'n kidding me. That says Darryl wanted that guy around. Hard working, playoff performer, physical, etc. "after finding out he had been traded". This if true, is a clear indication of poor communication between the Flames' departments. You have a new coach, who by these comments indicates wanted Sam here, and the GM trade him out from under you without letting him know?!?! I have been 100% behind Brad, and maybe Sam's performance to date in FLA adds to this, but come on. You can't have silos in this gig. FFS. I hope Sam is the next Savard and St. Louis. Our team has been done in by poor coaches, being cheap with them and its no different with out crap GM's not able to identify talent and trading them away.

It infers exactly what Darryl said: he wishes he had more time to work with Sam. That doesn't mean that Darryl didn't know that discussions were happening regarding a potential trade. It also doesn't mean that Sam wanted to be here. Whether Darryl wanted him or not, Sam's trade request may still have been a factor.
