To me he soured on management or ownership. The question is really what caused that and was it justified. Someone must have #### in his cheerios for things to go this way. Given his comments on wanting to move to anywhere but Calgary I’m inclined to think he had it in for someone. Again no idea why (that aspect we’ll probably never find out).

It's a sign of someone that just doesn't have integrity and respect for those he deals with.
All the signs were there though. He had to be walked through not acting like a baby with the refs by the veteran players on the team over the years.
I think he has a fair bit of growing up to do yet. The way the Flames have made life for him so comfortable has probably left him sheltered and he hasn't addressed his social issues as a result.
