It sounds like he is moving on and positivity is taking over, which is great because his future success depends on it.

Not to mention he is a pass first player and two of the best Flames at putting the puck in the net left. Now the final cog of the line could go and the top scorer from last year is gone. Who is he going to pass the puck to that can put it in the net.
