This is like what San Jose did with Hertl. But they aren’t worried, you see, since the cap is going up.

I always have a hard time grasping this mentality. There are 31 other teams in the league, quite a few in far better situations than the Calgary Flames, and quite a few of those are closer to friends and family. This player has worked hard for years to be in this position to have his pick of a situation that suits him best...I don't get the "pick Calgary or beat it" mentality
