I'm pretty disgusted by the entitlement of some fans that seem to think that every player must be converted into an "asset". Kiprusoff doesn't owe the Flames, Flames fans, or the city of Calgary a thing. Not . a . god . damned . thing. He is arguably the best goaltender to ever play in a Flames uniform, and I for one think that he deserves nothing more than our thanks and best-wishes as he transitions toward retirement.

Hmm, let's do some math here - the draft was around 9 months ago. Kipper would've had no idea he was having a baby. That changes a thing or two, does it not? There is NO assurance that he wouldn't want a trade so why is it ridiculous to suggest?
I'm disgusted by the idiots that feel they have a personal connection to these players and get angry at rational thinking. If Kipper doesn't owe us a damn thing (as you claim), why the hell should I care about him? Think about that for a second - he doesn't owe the fans or team jack according to you, but we should allegedly not care about setting the team up for the future to make him happy.
