A lot of angry fans are forgetting about Hanlon's Razor:
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity
I'd be angry if Johnny was actually a snake, but it doesn't sound that way. It sounds like he was confused, conflicted, didn't properly communicate, and tried to fulfill his Flyers dream in a sloppy gamble.
No one believes he actually left specifically to go to Columbus. It was just a decent backup option that ticks off the needed boxes for him and his family.
And yeah, Johnny's PR has been god awful on this. But so what? He could have slick PR and have bad intentions. It seems more like he had good intentions but just really ####ed up, and the bad PR is telling of how sloppy the whole mess was. It's almost like some fans need Johnny to be a villain to feel better about losing him.
