I think the Flames organization has, through the whole thing, handled this very professionally. I think they did a great job, a really great job.
I do feel that Oliver owed them some loyalty after that, but I totally accept that we don't know all the facts either. There are many possible circumstances that we have absolutely zero clue about.
I do hope, though, that if another NHLer finds themselves in the same situation as Oliver that this isn't looked back on and that player doesn't get the same treatment from whatever organization because of how this played out.
