I wish him and the Flames gave it one more year to see how it went.

Perhaps I'm mis-remembering, but wasn't it Cervenka who didn't want to come back? I recall reading a quote he gave back home in Czech after the season which was something along the lines of: ..we had lots of injuries, then everybody got traded, and we missed the playoffs.
I got the impression he really didn't enjoy his time on this side of the pond. But agreed I would have loved to see him at least one more year here. Him and Hudler looked explosive together to start the season.
