I can only speak for myself, but I don't hate him or angry with him. I just find the whole situation bizarre. I've actually found myself laughing out loud how the whole thing turned out.
You want to leave to move closer to family with your wife? Sure, I totally get that. No problem. Flames lowball you and and you left for a better offer? Sure, I wouldn't like it and would probably be more upset with the Flames if anything.
But no Philly, or Jersey, or Islanders. And leave about 15 million on the table. For Columbus.
I'm not mad. I'm just bewildered.
The whole 'it was time to leave Calgary' or whatever he said is fine too if he felt that way. But maybe say that a week or two, or even a month or two ago.
The whole thing was just weird. I'm not going to boo the guy, because I still don't think we really know why he left, regardless what he's saying.
