He screwed up his departure badly, but I do believe he had a lot of love for the city and the team, and I can't recall there ever being another player whose family members were so positively engaged as fans. On the ice he also provided more fun and entertainment to fans than any other Flames player since Iginla. I would think less of the Flames as an organization if they didn't do a tribute to him. If some fans want to boo him or jeer a tribute, so be it, but he deserves a tribute nonetheless and the team should provide one.
