And again, there is ALOT more to the Neal situation that makes his case particularly unique.
Your argument here seems to be that Flames fans should not jeer former Flames players because of the optics this creates of a crappy, spiteful fanbase to other, potential acquired players. That might be a valid point, but ask yourself this: how many former Flames players get derided by the fans on their return to Calgary? James Neal almost certainly will be, and that ought to emphasize the point that there are unique factors which have badly coloured his time with the Flames.
In other words, boo your face off, and don't worry about it.
