The fact he was a Calgarian and in the Dub is totally irrelevant to me.

I only said it was a bigger whiff than missing Kucherov, who also was passed over by every team in the league. Except in Kuch's case, there were open questions about playing in Russia, while with Point it would be pretty certain that he wouldn't mind playing in Canada, Calgary specifically.
Why is everyone so acrimonious lately? The lot needs a vacation.
