You can't erase his on ice tenure with the Flames and I certainly have no problem acknowledging him as a player and his stellar play. However, moving forward the Flames in no way should be associated with him and his brand. As a public figure representing a pro sports organization, there comes with a certain conduct. He is free to spread his views, but the Flames can also move forward without recognizing him in any manner. It's like a bad breakup. Move forward and focus on the future.
