This discussion really shouldn't be that hard.
He's different than your average fourth line plug. He has a aura both in the room and on the ice. He can still play a role in changing the fabric of a game (like we saw in that crazy game in Nashville towards the end of the season).
Having said that I'm not making the case that everyone wants him, or that Calgary should renew him at $3.75M ... just saying you eat $2M and you probably find him a home that won't require you to toss in huge sweeteners.
