Hm? No, I get that from the numerous reports at the start of the season from Friedman etc who spoke about the two being far apart in talks. Tanev wanted term, Flames weren't willing. And Tanev's quote from just today saying they spoke at the start of the year which seems to back that up.
As for Ottawa, that was also a recent report from Friedman, and last night Conroy mentioned that they had offers from non playoff teams as well.
And lastly, again today, he said he wants to win. And Conroy sent him to a team with a chance at winning. Calgary isn't going to be winning anytime soon, so if he (Tanev) doesn't win the cup this spring I can't see him coming back.
1. He wants to win
2. Other teams (Ottawa) will offer more term than Calgary was willing to, and he'll be a year older
I don't see a lot of jumping on my part.
