Its entirely possible that he wanted to stay, but external pressures were constant and he put it off, delayed it, tried stalling....I've seen it happen. I've done it.
Maybe he was put between a rock and a hard place and was trying to squirm his way free?
I dont know. Devil's Advocate. Either way, its done now, I dont know how I'll feel about him as a player as time goes on but he's never struck me as malicious.
I guess we'll see how it all plays out.

Yeah he may be getting advice from his agent etc, but I just don't believe he ever planned to re-sign now that we're here.
I thought he might re-sign but now it seems clear that was never in the cards based on the reports about the Flames offer and how upset Treliving was. If he's leaving money on the table he was never going to re-sign, and he likely is.
He wasn't between a rock and a hard place like the average person could be. We're talking about a guy who's set for life & has a guaranteed contract no matter what.
But there will be more info to come out so we'll see.
