That seems pretty different to me. But either way, I also think booing former Flames just because they left is silly.

I haven’t noticed people saying they’ll boo AJ Greer or Dennis Gilbert.
I mean, to re-iterate, you and I are aligned on the booing, not sure why it's a thing.

And totally agree, every situation is different for every player. I think there is acceptance that the journey men NHL players like Greer and Gilbert have different choices to make, but I'd say one big difference, unless I missed it, no where have I heard that Greer or Gilbert were offered deals by the Flames...............so that's a huge difference.

Both Johnny and OK were offered contracts to stay.......of course we could debate the merits of said offers. Both would be here if they really wanted to be here, that's where there situations are similar.
