Maybe Dallas just offered the better ELC. Maybe the Flames weren't in on him at all.
When I look at the Stars depth chart, they got a lot of big bodies in pretty much every position.
Just wondering why a kid like this who (at least in theory) the Flames should have an inside lane on ended up a Dallas Star.

Can't sign every long shot. Stars were the only team to like him enough to sign him.
