When the "Tribute" goes on fans can choose to turn their backs on him the same way he did us. I expect lots of Boos because people love a villian, they love to boo Fox and everyone likes to boo Bettman.
He made his bed he can sleep in it. He owes us nothing we owe him nothing either.

I think this forum is incredibly passionate, and a good amount feel betrayed by him, but I don't know if the majority of the fanbase, and those who would attend games that he left the Flames on a really sour note.
He did provided great moments for this franchise during his time here, and he exercised his right fully by going wherever he wanted as a UFA.
I don't hold any ill will towards him. This is once again another case of Brad/Flames not knowing how to manage their assets approirately. They gave far too much control to the players, and end up having them leave empty handed.
I sincerely hope that this latest example is the one that finally makes them learn their lesson, and become a lot more business-minded, where they ensure they get at least get something from assets that may not stick around for the long term.
