I don't hold it against Johnny that he tried to go the direction of doing what he felt was best for family. That's totally fine. I do think it seems like the process of getting there was really poorly handled, both in terms of how it affected the relationship with the Flames and his fan base and in terms of the results he ultimately got on his contract.
