I'm glad if the letter provides a bit of context, if not closure for some Flames fans. Personally, there wasn't much in the letter that wasn't already said, reported, or heavily speculated based on how things apparently went down. But that this was a personal decision for personal/family reasons I don't think was ever in doubt.

As for the piece about him possibly re-signing last year, I'm glad some had the foresight to predict how successful they would be this year as I sure didn't. Putting up points when your team is out of the playoff race is never a great benchmark, and after two "average seasons" (which came after two poor playoff showings), I don't blame Treliving for only offering $8Mx8 (if that is what in fact happened).
