He wanted out because he didn't want to play here.
Bridge Contract, Sutter, Covid lockdowns, weather, etc all played a factor.
In the end he could have re-signed for 8 years and $10.5M if he wanted to stay, and he still wanted out.
It's not really twisting anything into knots. The guy made a decision to do what he thought was best for him, and in the end it sucks for the Flames who at least on-ice gave him every opportunity to become a star from day 1.
