No Theo in the NHL
Former Giants | Friday 2 October 2009 by Richard BlayneyReporting this is hardly reporting considering the news broke almost a week ago but I figured I’d mention it in passing anyway, if only for record sake.
Theo didn’t make the Calgary Flames NHL team. He was cut in the final few days of camp after putting up four points in four games as well as a shootout winner. It wasn’t enough for the Flames management who were only going to sign Theo if he could play on the top two lines. It appears he couldn’t in their eyes. Theo addressed this at the start of the week and decided he would call it a day on his NHL career and comeback attempt but was happy to have been given the shot, to have proven to himself he could hold his own in the NHL, to pull on the Flames jersey again and to go out of the NHL on his terms and with class.
