You may not agree, and certainly much more went into this decision, but people (players) don’t forget. Fact.
Brad's RFA negotiations are a strong point. Why be kind in RFA bargaining when a guy like Johnny's going to leave you at the altar as he just did? Frolik exiled himself all on his own with his play. What could the Flames have done differently with Gio? Protect him so they could lose a guy like Andersson?
