He’s an American who has openly stated he’s tired of losing.
The Flames are a small market Canadian team that gave up a 2 on 0 breakaway when they were on the powerplay.

Obviously acquiring a player who doesn't want to join your club is... less than ideal.. but what leverage does he have beyond that? His NMC kicks in for 2022-2023
If we make the best offer to Buffalo, we can get him. I think our "long shot" perspective comes from the number of teams and high quality offers they will get, not from the player preference.
