As much as it sucks that it didn’t work, at some point you have to realize that the Flames aren’t special went it comes to prospects catching on with other teams. It’s life. It’s too bad. But it is what it is.
At this point, repeatedly using this as a reason to rant about the Flames is no better than the people trying to knock any praise of him. It doesn’t accomplish anything and it’s boring. If I was upset about this I would ask myself whether I’m looking at this situation fairly, or whether I’m looking for reasons to be upset.

Pfft. Obviously we should have traded Hanifin for a buckletload of unprotected 1sts and deployed Valimaki 20 mins a night instead.
