the Flames leverage.

- Leaving the Flames with the only option of dumping him for next to nothing
because everyone else knows he's going to free agency anyway.
I know this is a bit risky but he might see it as a worthwhile risk at this point.
Imagine your 2 best players not only leave but try to screw you the worst way possible….
