If Boston can't acquire or sign you then what? Going to go the Johnny Gaudreau route?
His quickest way out of town is expanding his list of trade destinations (that he would extend with).

If he is in a rush to get out of town yes. And it could well be that he really wants to go to Boston and is willing to roll the dice during UFA and is indifferent on whether he plays the last 18 weeks before UFA in Calgary or somewhere else. One thing is for sure, if he signs a longterm deal anywhere other than Boston he is closing the door on playing in Boston.
I also think that the report could be bull####. But if you play almost 8 and a half years to get to knocking on the door of UFA status and the ability to choose where you live I doubt “getting out of town” is a super high priority in the final 18-20 weeks before you hit UFA.
