I just don't know why Sutter and the Flames would want or need the extra work of reforming this guy. Surely there are players who can produce as much without the hassle. This guy is 30. He is who he is.

BTW, while Sutter maybe managed to turn Carter around, I'd argue he wasn't successful with Richards. Or Voynov for that matter.
At risk of stating the obvious, because they want to win. He's a top 20 winger in the league and he'd be dirt cheap to acquire. But maybe they think he'd destroy the room and hurt more than he'd help and there would definitely be some fan backlash too - I'd be absolutely stunned if it happened
