"Calgary, it's not you, it's me".

This is just damage control, even if it's somewhat honest. I don't think he hated Calgary by any stretch, and this is as much about explaining to Calgary as explaining to the rest of the hockey world, who are puzzled about what they just witnessed. I'm not sure about wanting to re-sign in Calgary last summer, unless he was asking for too much money I think that they would have signed him.

I can't stand all this fluff about wanting to bring his family here to show them all his favourite things about Calgary blah blah blah. It's like a break up with someone you feel bad for. I could care less if he ever comes back here, or if he spends every summer here.

Now that he's not on the Flames I don't care how much success he has going forward, but I hope he has a nice long career in Columbus, and that his decision ends up being a good one for him and his family, and that's really about it.
