I am unable to fault him for leaving for greener pastures after:
- signing a 3 year bridge when he was willing to sign for longer
- being told to tone down his schtick after the Muzzin incident
- playing as well as he did despite Sutter's system
- seeing the writing on the wall with Sutter continuing on as Coach and Gaudreau opting to leave
- being in the position to choose his destiny because of the aforementioned bridge deal
Tkachuk is a Panther now because of how Treliving and the Calgary Flames conducted business over the past 4+ years.
