You are wrong and you know it, but you think hindsight makes you a genius. It doesn't work that way.

Actually looking back I was absolutely right. They should have given him an ultimatum. They would have either re-signed him or maximized value instead of watching him walk. That is objectively true.
Nobody ever knows if a decision will be correct. I was correct then. That doesn’t mean anything to anyone but I present it as a data point that the geniuses of CP are not always right about what they defend and prognosticate.
Also you should try sometime having some ideas of your own rather than just condescendingly talking down to people. I never see you much making any pontificating on what the Flames should or shouldn’t do. To then go belittle those that do doesn’t make you look as smart as you think it does.
