I doubt this is true and it’s just the insiders trying to validate what their position was the whole time.
By the sounds of it He’s actually going to be taking less AAV to play in NJ or PHI.
So how was he just using the Flames for leverage to get a higher AAV if he doesn’t actually leverage their offer into a higher AAV?
If anything if he knew he was leaving he should have been trying to facilitate a sign and trade to get an 8th year at his preferred location.
