The reasons for wanting to throw Kipper under the bus are entirely about the fact that by refusing to be traded he doesn't let the Flames acquire assets to build for the future.
Except, trading Kipper wouldn't net you much more than a few draft picks, and his reasons for NOT wanting to be traded are sincere. He has a family to consider, a newborn, and the possibility of retiring in the next year or so anyways.
I would say the reasons for fans on here wanting to throw him under the bus are a lot more selfish than Kipper's reasons for NOT wanting to be traded.
