Every time.

You criticizing other posters: just calling it like it is.
Other posters criticizing you: bullying!!!!!!
Your delusional certainty he'd re-sign: being an optimistic fan!
Others discussing the complexities of the situation: toxic a-holes who only want to see the world burn!

Where was your source in the first 2 weeks of July?

Why else would Gross put out a tweet that the "Flames did everything they could?". That was clearly an agent getting ahead of the story to protect his reputation.
One insider told me the next morning (of free agency) JG's camp wanted to try to put things back together but Murray Edwards was having no part of it.
I think there was a lot of "immaturity" on the part of JG. Seems like he was really torn, and very likely wanted to stay, but things kind of got out of control.

There is actual reporting contrary to your sources claim of radio silence:

As for why Gross might make that tweet? Damage control because of how he bungled the situation is every bit as plausible as damage control because he bungled the situation at Johnny's specific direction.
