First I’ve seen that in this thread (about the baby). I heard that a few weeks ago and apparently his wife wants to be close to home. That’s primarily why I think he’s gone.

But the other question, of course, is what he’s actually worth. He’s obviously important to the Flames, but is he $11-12m important? At some point you’re overpaying just to get a deal.
