He had a career year in Calgary and played one of his best years in a Flames uniform despite the team performance.
I suppose he might feel like he has better Cup chances elsewhere (very understandable), but he's also likely to have a very healthy spot on the team next year, and a non insignificant chance he might also be captain.
He also has one more year left at his current contract, so no doubt 2023 is probably going to be a decision point for him again.
But he has options.
