He earned that right when the Flames stupidly gave him a NMC but sucks for us nonetheless.

The Flames were competing with the Oilers for his services. I don't think handing him an NMC was all that stupid.
If the Flames do manage to trade him for some assets, I think it's an absolute win. He was a free agent signing, and outside of being piss poor last season - he hasn't turned into an anchor by any means.
If the Oilers had him right now, they'd be better than they are. That's a win.
