He and Housely (and the Hawks appointed chaperone, meant to keep him out of trouble - he already had under the radar issues in NY and Chicago) ignored team and his own enhanced conduct orders and went out to a strip club in Columbus after a game, and got in some trouble there.
The Flames, once again, bent over backwards for the guy to sign him to basically an honorary contract so he could get out from under the suspension, collect a pension and benefits, as they did to protect him time and again when he was here and kept his issues quiet, in signing him, and the ungrateful jerk crapped on them a few months later, again.
All about him, it always has been.
