If his play craters next season, which could very well happen, then you can leave him safely exposed without much risk of losing him. An honor spot in my estimation is counter productive to the business of staying as competitive as an organization can be.
Flames have a bad history of allowing heartstrings dictate sound business decisions beneficial to the team (see iginla)
