I remember this season and thinking how pissed I would have been in his shoes…the Flames kept him on the Taxi squad, preventing his development at the pro level, keeping his salary at and AHL level, and not giving him the opportunity to get picked up on waivers by another team.
For some reason, I thought of this when he tried to play hardball with Conroy, seeing as how they essentially wasted a year of his career and earning power. Covid was a b****, even for the rich and priveliged .
