As much as the virtue signalers have gone out of their way to rip on those for wife blaming since last summer, there appears to be enough here to really point to the wife.

Now and then, it appears, this is actually the case.

I dont think it's off base as a Flames fan to be a bit angry about it.

Happy wife, happy life, I guess. But if the reason for angling John towards Columbus was to work at a nice hospital and be near her BFF (or wherever the rumour was) at the expense of sewering the remainder of Johnny's career on a poor organization, that's a little selfish of her.

But that's only if that was the case. We don't have all the information. So while we can be mad, we should also pump the brakes a little. What's done is done, and we'll probably never know.

I still don't agree with the decision. And I don't think johnny feels that great about being -27 on a lottery team that isn't home. But they were entitled to a making that poor decision at the time. So while it was probably a blunder career-wise, he still the gave the final verdict and put his foot down. Nothing we nor the Flames could do.
