Yup, both walked out on the city, franchise and fans, after one of the better seasons in franchise history. Whatever their reasons they did not want to be Calgary Flames, and did not want to help take the club to new levels of success. They don't care about the success of the team.
Iginla gave the prime of his career to the franchise, through years of playing without an elite centre as well. There is no comparison. Iggy is a legend who gave it all for the franchise.
These guys had every right to make the decisions they made -- but they shouldn't expect the admiration of Flames fans anymore.
