I also think that's a gross exaggeration. Maybe you missed the part where the Canucks left Markstrom out to dry worse than the Flames have when he was there. Vancouver also let him walk after picking the young kid over him even after the great seasons he had there. Yeah, I'm sure he's clamoring to go back.
And you think there's an attractive room culture up in Edmonton with the likes of "it was your fault" Mike Smith, Kevin Lowe and co. hovering, two entitled guys that expect the lion's share of ice time each night, and the incredible leadership of Captain "let's go"?

I didn't say that he would be upset for being left out to dry, he may be surprised given that most feel Calgary had a stable blue line at the start of the season...
Upset watching the gong show, including players only meetings and a coach being fired?
Yeah, I doubt he nor Tanev would be very impressed with those developments...
Did they consider Calgary a contender when they followed the money out of Vancouver or were they just focused on the money?
Tough to say, but my guess would be that they didn't realize how far from a true contender Calgary is and how close it is to a rebuild or retool...
Take care...
