"F Johnny", he ruined his legacy, screw him, he's a terrible person, boo him, throw his jersey on the ice when he comes back, wish him all the worst in Columbus.. so much toxic garbage on this board because he took his time in deciding where to play. As if that's the most awful thing any hockey player could do. As if his indecision set the franchise back 5 years and cost them 10 first round picks.
Then all the sentiment around Tkachuk is, gosh darn, what a great guy for telling Calgary to beat it so quickly! He wanted out all this time, and didn't hesitate to let us know! How admirable and charming.
Blech.

I'm far less concerned about a player's intentions or what feelings he may or may not have had about the city/team, as I am about the effect his actions have actually had on the team.
The one thing we will agree on is that it's pointless to hold grudges. Life is too short to hang on to bitterness and resentment. My hope is that everyone cheers and applaudes Johnny and Chucky when they return.
