Just to clarify, because I've heard a lot of different versions of the story lol...my stepping away from the league had very little to do with SFP and zero to do with either grape or daft. My interest has been waning for a while, and with everything going on in the world, expending any amount of emotional energy on the league just didn't feel worth it for me personally anymore. It's no secret that I asked for a trade a year ago, but I haven't asked for one since then. Grape actually asked me to come back and sign a HTD contract a couple of weeks ago to help out with the budget and I did that. I would have let them keep on signing Lockhart's corpse for the rest of his career if they'd wanted.

I had no idea about any of the drama going on and I only found out about the trade when Izzy and Esa DMed me. I love both of those guys and I love the Calgary locker room, so I came back to say hi when they asked me to and ended up getting sucked back into the league. It was a nice/much needed break, and coming back to a new team has been refreshing. But just to clear the air, SFP didn't drive me away and my coming back is definitely directly related to the trade, but not in the way that's been suggested.
