It seems to me like there is more to this story than either sides report. There must have been some indication between Kipper and Feaster that made it very clear what was going to happen this off season. Honestly if Feaster has just been sitting there twiddling his thumbs waiting for Kippers call, then the guy is proving just what a moron he is.

It almost seems like Kipper is taking a wait and see approach as to what the Flames do this off season. After all, who knows what direction they are headed. Ownership says, they are still expected to make the playoffs. So maybe there will be some big moves. Maybe they continue the rebuild. If thats the case, of course Kipper will not want to be a part of it.

If this wait and see approach is what he's doing, then im sure that's why management has allowed him to sit on the fence. "After the draft and a little into free agency Kip, if you like what you see, there's a spot for you in camp. If it doesnt fit with your future plans, then best of luck and happy retirement"

I think this is very plausible. And if so, I am fine with it.

All the hurt sucks around here need to realize, he said his farewells on the ice. I don't need a press conference saying "Thank you Calgary, your a great city, im glad i played here" followed by tears.
Saying goodbye on the ice is the best way to go, if he's going to go.

As far as Francis goes, that hack is just using Kipper's words and coupling them in with the stress the city has been in the last week, just so he can get attention. The audacity of this guy, saying Kipper owes the city more, especially because of the recent floods. The two have nothing to do with each other. Especially since its been reported that he said those things to the Finn a while ago(don't quote me on this, they were talking about it on the Fan). The guy is a complete no nothing. On the Fan today, he pretty much back tracked on everything he said. I almost expected him to issue a retraction. He has as much journalistic skill as a kid running the grade 6 tattler.

Its embarrassing that he represents Calgary when it comes to sports media.
