I don't think him re signing 100% indicates that he wants to retire a Flame, he's said numerous times that give his age, winning is important. However, hitting the 1000 games mark was a milestone he wanted to do with the Flames. His NMC turns into a 15 team no trade that kicks in Jan 2026. I for one would love to see him play out his entire career here. But given how is contract could shake out, he still could very much leave to chase a cup.
