This isn’t sour grapes, but a 11M JG is not a championship team. Its a bullet dodged and him fleeing to NJ will see him in the same spot just a different address.
Its also a miss because if we had MacKinnon we would probably be in COL spot, but if Markstrom doesn’t let us down. Too many ifs.
What hurts is they could salvage even a 2nd rounder for rights. You think Iginla would have taught them to be assertive but I guess not.
Where really to go from here? I dunno. Just feel JG is going to be disappointed and so will the Flames. There was a fair contract there, but hey that is up to him. Wish Tre would have set a date and had a trigger pull ready. That is equally fair as being punked.
