Man, you guys are so butthurt. Blaming JG for becoming a free agent. Not giving enough notice. We knew for six f-ing years when he was going to be a free agent. You're really going to drag your ass all over a 30 year old guy that just decided to do best for him because he didn't give us something that he never owed in the first place? Lol. Not enough notice?
Such a bunch of crying wieners around here. It's not like the Flames overpaid for JG's 6-year contract. How does anyone think he owes this city anything? Straight up pathetic to read all of this bitching and moaning over a grown man making life decisions for himself and his family.

Frothy retort. Johnny owes us nothing and we in turn owe him nothing. It is curious to see an elite athlete in his prime turn down winning and money. He had a good setup here and I don't think it's out of line to speculate that he simply made a bad decision. Based on what he's said in the wake of it, he doesn't seem like a guy with much clarity.
So it's not about who's owed. No one is. But he's certainly not owed any favor from flames fans, and that's what you're reading here.
