Man I get leaving for more money. Or more term. Or because the team or it's fans treated you poorly. But zero of that applies here.
This is the opposite of classy. This is bitch slapping an organization that showed you nothing but love and injuring yourself in the process.

It isn't like the Flames paid him for a year and a half not to play out of the goodness of their hearts. He was on a guaranteed deal. He owed us nothing, and we owed him nothing once his contract was up. I wish the guy the best with his health and hope he does well in Colorado. He could end up back in Calgary somewhere down the road. We are going nowhere with or without this guy.
