I am of the belief that agents probably leak stuff to other teams. Using it as a means that interested teams get their hands dirty and start freeing up some cap space because the Flames are offering xxx dollars. I can't really think of any other reason it took this long as I personally have a hard time believing he agonized over this every single day for the last few months and today was the day the light bulb came on that he wanted to play closer to home.
