I think where I (and hopefully most people) get upset is with HOW it happened. If you knew your wife/family had no desire to stay in Calgary and wanted to get back close to family, that’s not something that is changed overnight. There’s no reason Johnny couldn’t have communicated this to the Flames earlier and put both parties in a better situation. It’s not like his family was going to change their minds about moving/staying the day of free agency.
That’s my whole issue with this. I think if this didn’t get sprung on the fan base the day of free agency and the Flames could have even got some assets for Johnny’s rights, a much smaller percentage of people would be faulting Johnny.

What if he really wanted to stay in Calgary and thought he could convince them otherwise?
Maybe Johnny is thinking that if the flames can offer $15m more over 8 years, the wife and her family would change their mind.
They're newlyweds. I misread my wife all the time and we've been together 10 years. They don't communicate directly and I don't listen well. I think that's a pretty common problem in relationships lol
