With what Kypreos said this really rings true. Really hard for me to hate Johnny, have 3 of his jerseys and he’s been my fav player ever to follow from the day he was drafted until now but man… what an absolute knife in the back of a franchise that gave you the chance. I get that it’s a business, I get that it was his choice that he earned but it’s hard for me to understand this position from Johnny and it’s a different side to the guy that we’d never really seen before. It’s really hamstrung the flames from doing anything meaningful during the draft and now with UFA unless they make a decision that clearly won’t have had any or as much time to be considered that would be desirable. What an absolute pickle the Flames find themselves in because of Johnny, it’s unbelievable but at the same time I guess it’s not when you look at the Tavares and Panarin UFA scenarios. Just really sucks that it’s happening to us and our player was a 115 point unicorn winger lol.
