Understand he is a nice guy and conflicted and all that, he also is an adult and violated what I would consider to be very basic parameters of respect when discussing a contract. Basic things like being as upfront as possible to a team that already paid you over $45MM to play hockey for them over around a decade or so. It would have cost Johnny precisely zero to just be honest and it is opaquely clear he was not.
A lot of forgiveness for a person that showed the Flames, the city, the fans absolutely zero respect, whatsoever.
It's hilarious people are "shocked" at the reaction to Johnny's departure.

You are just making my point, I said that Johnny didn't handle the situation very well; but people making assumptions about his intentions are just making assumptions. We both know it is a lot more complicated that. Just like people who make assumptions that I am being rude when I dont asnwer those who are talking to me behind my back. Makes no difference if it is an adult talking to me, or not. Implying that Johnny is an adult has no bearing, he was likely quite conflicted when things went down.
