It's his right, but I guess if he's not sad about it, why should I be?
I will still love the time he spent in Calgary. I don't think I've followed a Calgary prospect from early on as much I did Johnny. From his draft year as some skinny kid that looks like he should be working at McDonalds, to his BC years, to his 8 years with the Flames. It was a good ride. Just wish it would have been longer.
That said, how Treliving completely revamped the team this summer has definitely taken all of the sting out. I'd argue the team is better built now, so I'm looking forward to bigger and better things for the Flames.

I've asked this question many times in different forms, but what is the actual value of any of that? Blind adoration from a bunch of people who are obviously very fickle and might end up running you out of town if the team can't win anyways...
