It's weird we want our athletes to have this nonsense loyalty and give up rights we all have and use daily.
When a co-worker quits to go somewhere else we usually say "take me with you" not "you're a fataing piece of crap".
But he was drafted by the flames. The honor!!! Draft is not a benefit to players, its a sentence. It reduces your options from 32 to 1 for many years. Imagine being drafted by CNRL or some crapco or the Calgary Flames. Sorry to break it to you, the Flames are a pretty crappy team to be drafted by.
We should be proud the Flames handled this the way they did but the player used his god given right to look elsewhere. He's probably pretty sick of being forced into decisions he had no choice over.
If I was in the top percentiles of my profession and had the choice of 31 other places, I don't think I'd choose Calgary. 4 months a year the climate can murder you. Why? But we have lots of Vietnamese restaurants. We are just a little better than Edmonton and Winnipeg.
