This is great news if he's feeling good again and dealt with the issues he had. Flames handled the situation in a classy way, and credit goes to Brad and Conny. I've been a huge fan of this player since he was touted as a first rounder and fell to us in the 2nd.
What a mature young man he really is to be able to take a step back and recognize he needed some help and a reset. Didn't know I could be a bigger fan of him, yet here we are. Huge respect.
Now that it's behind us, it is completely fair to start talking about potential performance this season after missing a whole year. I'm cautiously optimistic, but we shouldn't be surprised if it takes him a few weeks or months to really come into his own again.
