Wonder if that’s why he looked around first. Figured he could get a 1 year/$1 million deal from a few teams but wanted to see if he could get a multi-year contract. Turned out there wasn’t a multi-year deal option for him so he could just go with a deal similar to what the flames were offering. In the end, he ends up on a contender under a similar contract that he was rumoured to be offered by the flames. The only downside for him with going to Colorado is that it will likely be in a diminished role compared to what he would have had with the flames. He likely would have played top 4 minutes in Calgary and that kind of opportunity could have lead to a bigger contract (term and $) next offseason.
