As I said before something strikes me in the way he doesn't seem to smile like the rest of the group or even give his best effort from what we saw in the pre-season. I am starting to believe this guy doesn't want to be here. Unfortunately it is too early to get a good return for him I think, the Flames are going to have to wait this one out for awhile. Very disappointing to me.

If this is true then I think he only wants to be in Calgary for a huge amount of money and nothing else. His agent isn’t an idiot. They know he won’t get close to that as a ufa and I think they are fine with that . If it’s me I’m trading him sooner than later. Can’t take a chance that he is hurt near deadline. flames are trying to build up an environment of players that want to be here. Also I don’t trust flames ownership to trade him if they are in a playoff spot come deadline. Hopefully they can deal him before December .
