Yes, this part doesn’t make sense. I don’t really see Murray or the Flames going this route either it’s just business. Something went sideways here.
Before any of that, once he decided he didn’t want to return a sign and trade would have been the preferred route and get the extra contract year. The Flames could have taken players back in a trade scenario which opens options vs a pure FA signing. Maybe a deal can be worked out with Philly which I understand is where he wanted to go.
It will be interesting to hear the full story when it eventually comes out.
