The organization treated him well and he screwed us.
Never got the apologists who continued to support him.

I have no issue with a player exercising their rights. He was up front with the Flames and worked with them, to some degree, to allow them to get a decent return. Nothing wrong with that. It's his life, and if his decision was he wanted to play somewhere like Florida, I have no issue with him.
And I say that as someone who was never a massive fan of his. I think he's a bit of a goof. And make no question, he's out of himself and thinks players should maximize their earnings, even at the expense of their teams. The apple doesn't far from the tree. But I have no issue with any of that.
I take issue with players who mislead their teams and aren't honest about their intentions. Like Tom Erixon and Arthur Fox.
