But you have declared management at fault and all anger should be directed at them?
Sorry, whether or not you think BT is a good GM or not, one thing he is not...is dumb. He was not just hoping on a wish and a prayer that things would get done, there was clearly information that led him to believe that.
With the final destination and value of the contract decided upon, I think that validates it completely. JG was not returning at any price and there was no way that decision was reached 48 hours ago. That should have been relayed to the Flames long before July 12.

There was zero reason to draw this out as he did when it was clear he was moving on as is his right.

Is this a game where you get to assume but I don't? Trelving put himself and the Flames in this situation. Not Johnny Gaudreau. That's a fact.
