Now being a father of a young baby, I completely get the POV of wanting to be home closer to family and will hold no ill-will towards Johnny if that's what he decides. He owes nothing to the franchise at this point.
Doesn't take away the fact it will be an unmitigated disaster for the Flames playoff/competitive hopes, but such is luck.
If he goes, I'll really be pining for the rebuild path vs filling his absence with other high priced FA's. I just have little faith that a Murray Edwards owned team will have the patience to rebuild should Johnny walk.
