Seems like people are just mad he wouldn't sign anywhere in order to get the Flames the best return while also expecting a better return if he didn't give a list of teams he'd re-sign with.

To take it a step further, I don't know why he would sign before being traded at this point (weeks from free agency) even if the trade was to a team he wanted to go to. As a rental he's worth a couple of picks and a prospect, as an extended player he's worth that plus maybe a roster player or two. Why would he want to make his new team weaker?
If we wanted a non-rental return, I think we had to have traded him last off season.
