Then he gambled and lost. I still don't see that as a reason to hate him.

Do you think the Flames supported him just because they're kind and sweet? Or did they do it because they hoped to see a good return on their investment or good publicity or make Calgary look like a desirable place to play?

The employer will have no trouble being a cutthroat negotiator when it suits them, so why shouldn't the employee? It didn't work out in this case, but if that's what he did, he's not getting any ill will from me.
