I wouldn't be surprised if once he sees his value on the market, he circles back to the Flames with an opportunity to to match.
His market value is really difficult to put your finger on given all the circumstances. He missed a lot of time and no one knows if he will miss time again in the future. He looked good when he came back, but not quite as good as he looked before the absence. He also looked great playing with Tanev, but not so great playing with other partners.
I can see why negotiations would be difficult for this one.
