The guy loves it here, even with opportunities to play elsewhere he waited for an offer from the Flames.
Watching the video of him announcing his retirement from playing was a bit sad, you can clearly see the kid still wants to play but would rather the certainty of knowing he’s staying in Calgary then waiting until September to get a deal.
This is a guy who gave a #### every night, who performed every time he finally was able to get in the lineup and put up some key points when doing so. Rode the popcorn spot for the last few years and never complained.
I’m happy he got a job with the flames, this is a good sign that the team wants that mindset and attitude with its rookies and I wish him the best.
Thanks Stoney!
