Sitting out makes no sense. Sure a game or two doesn't have a huge effect. But losing out on an entire year of salary that's in the range of 6-8 Million is just stupid. Nevermind it makes you look stupid to every other GM in the league.
Yes the Flames need Johnny in the lineup. But if he's going to sit out and make a big deal of this, then slot Bennett in at #1 LW, Tkachuk at #2 LW, and play some hockey. To me, there is no one above the team.
