Well, what about the person himself and not the local hockey team? Not everyone sees playing hockey as their ultimate goal. Just saying.
I do think that he will sign with the flames, but I also think that he will be looking for playing guarantees and what happens to Treliving and Sutter will have an effect.
We are back to a signing watch regardless. As for losing a First for nothing, I would hope that the GM would be far more attuned to the situation than walking the player to free agency.
