Then he can resolve, since he’s within the final 12 months of his deal, the place he desires to go long run. I believe it is a state of affairs this 12 months the place, if Calgary decides they wish to transfer him, there’s going to be a lot of contenders on the market who’re going to be fascinated about him as a participant. So we’ll see.
