It's an interesting observation of Flames fan actually. You're absolutely right that there's a pretty solid group of people who are eager to ship one of Calgary's best scorers in Gaudreau out and if you're paying attention, it happens a lot with very good hockey players on the Flames. Iginla is celebrated by fans from all markets but many, many fans here were just as eager to get rid of him back when he was here. Even today, when talking about Iginla's successes, people feel obligated to bring up his shortcomings. It's almost as if Flames fans hate great players.
