If LeBrun believes it, so do I as he's fairly plugged in. Your history consists of two players under totally different circumstances. Both players in US markets that the player wanted to stay all and it was only a matter of agreeing on the money. Neither of those players had the angle of families being on the opposite coast. If it's all about money the Flames will probably get the deal done I expect after the SCF (I'm still holding out hope this happens). If it's about more than that then he's probably heading east. Time will tell and we will find out one way or another in the coming weeks.
