They’re not lining up for him just because he’s cheap for 1 year.
The way some undervalue him on here is scary.
Would I love him with us longer? Absolutely
Do I think he’ll be effective for years to come? Yes
Do I want to pay him 9.5M a season? No sadly his ask from CGY is too rich
Am I angry he wants to go compete? Nope, but I think we need to worry about CGY first from an organizational standpoint
He’s been a great flame, from a guy who was touted as “too fat” when drafted, to arguably one of our best draft picks in the last 10-15 years.

I don't think people are under valuing him. He is a great #3dman. Many teams could use a good second pairing.
But if he wants that much money, I don't think most teams can fit him in long term.
