Give the kid a break. It's not an insult directed at the Flames at all.

Totally agree. He's disappointed about being traded away from Dallas, not being traded to Calgary.
Trades are hard, especially on young lads. He probably reads it as him not being deemed good or important enough for the Stars and feels down because of that, which again is fair enough. If I was in his shoes, I'd be feeling pretty gutted as well. Stupid(but predictable) of the media to jump all over him, feel for him.
