Agree, but the primary reason is probably the one way contract they gave him. I think they had him penciled in as the Flames backup last season and might have hoped to move Vladar if his surgery worked and his healed body yielded some attention grabbing stats. There was so much smoke around him last season in trade rumours - I feel like that came from inside our camp. Like an Oscar advertisement in Variety.
