But if you think the level of care in how the team does this season is the same as it’s been, then I won’t convince you.
He’s playing for a new contract with a new team, he knows he’s not coming back because he chose not to. This is why he should have been traded in the off-season and they did try, but he wouldn’t extend for one and the other he blocked.

If he blocked a trade, he had a NTC. That is completely on Flames management.
He has every right to not extend with any team either until the offseaon. Again, this falls completely on management. They should have traded him at the deadline during a sellers market, and instead went cup chasing.
