Definitely not worthy of “#### that guy” response, but it’s more than fair to be critical of his decision. Certainly the Flames aren’t owed anything from Oliver, but a lot of good will was shown his way. It would seem natural for a player to want to acknowledge the gesture and want to re-sign. Also, the opportunity here in Calgary was much higher than what it will be in Colorado. I don’t have any problems with people questioning his decision given the fact that it sounds like the Calgary deal was better with an even greater opportunity to build his game.
When you factor all that it, seems odd to change teams and bail on the club that was with you all the way and most likely provided you with a better opportunity moving forward.
