Why do you seem so butthurt about this?

I am not butthurt about it I have just have yet to hear an actual reason why despite being shown time and again that every NHL team doesn't see him as good enough posters here seem to continually think that Byron should be playing on the Flames.
So I will leave it as I disagree that his speed or supposed determination would do anything to change what is happening here. I also fail to see if that is what missing how there isn't someone in the organization that can bring that passion and determination other than Byron.
This team is missing secondary scoring and quality goaltending. Byron brings neither of those. While I understand that fans tend to like to watch small guys go balls out and that creates fan favorites Byron has been with the Flames 4 years and in that time he has rarely if ever changed the course of a single game let alone a season.
It just seems so odd to me to see so many people thinking he is anything close to what this team needs or that we lost something when he left other than a warm body.
