The writing was on the wall a long time ago that one or both might, and probably would leave at some point. Like we’re the first team to ever lose a guy to free agency.
And then all the BS about this being a black mark on the franchise and a sign the org is tainted. Gtfo with that crap. Chucky was leaving no matter what Johnny did. This has nothing to do with it.

Honestly, anyone surprised by this doesn’t follow the NHL. The writing was on the wall for both these guys to walk, and people had been talking about just this possibility for years.
And yes, Treliving and ownership were well aware this is how it all might turn out. They pushed all their chips in last season and came up short. That’s pro sports.
