Somewhat surprised to see him in town. With the Flames gone, then the week long break, if he was truly done, you'd figure he'd be gone (and to come back later to announce he's done) out of town on vacation since earlier in the week and until the break is over.
Whatever it is and how it turns out, my position clearly is that I hope he sticks it out here, rehabs the next weeks and gets to the health and fitness level the Flames had told him last week that he needs to be to get on the ice, and honestly, that he wants to as he winds down the career.
The Flames are going to need more then Bartkowski, Lazar etc as the reserves during the playoff push and playoffs even when Versteeg and Frolik get back in, and having a fit, motivated JJ available for one last playoff run, would be great.
