Seemed -- past tense -- being the key word. He was clearly unhappy here after Johnny and Chucky left. I understand disappointment but he had no apparent interest in getting over it.
The team's much improved play after he left provides some fuel to the rumors that he was a negative presence in the dressing room.
Finally, I think we can all forgive Flames fans for being easily triggered by players not wanting to be here. We've had way more than our fair share of it. In fact, is there any other team in the league where it has been so common and so public?
I loved Elias, but his last 1.5 seasons here tarnished his legacy as a Flame IMO.
