what he wants and what he will get are not always the same. Going 7-8 years for a guy that will turn 32 at the start of this season coming off a career year or not isn't going to happen. Competitive teams don't have a lot of cap and would have to move bigger pieces out and at that point the have to question if shuffling deck chairs is worth the effort. Rebuilding teams it simply doesn't make sense whether or not if he was willing to go there and a middling team you have to ask if he is the piece that puts you in the playoffs. This was the first season his was over a pt per games.... any of the others he didn't even come close to sniffing it. I think both Columbus and Florida are going to regret the ex Flames deals they signed.
