To wit:
-Everyone realized that he was signed to a contract as an audition for 32 NHL teams. Everyone realized this, that is, except him.
-He was signed to play defence, but quickly decided to resurrect a position that hasn't been seen since the late 19th / early 20th centuries: rover.
-In a year that the Flames committed to the return of the retro jerseys, he chose to wear the number 89, in a direct troll-job of the fanbase.
Once I had this epiphany, I started to watch his play from the lens of "dramatic foreign film". It's been remarkably enjoyable.

Well Sutter gave him three and a half minutes of Pp time tonight so he must be in on the joke I guess
