I think holding yourself to this level of accountability is unnecessary, personally.
Yes, the Flames are an undesirable market. The new building will help with that.
No, they shouldn't act like jerks and treat their employees terribly when they part ways.
But at the end of the day, if I'm considering the Flames as a free agent and a former player is badmouthing the team for operating within their rights (i.e. trading to a team not on a NTC), I'd be skeptical of the source. As long as it's not done in a hostile fashion, go and do what makes best business sense.
The Flames already operate at enough of a disadvantage in other areas. Best to not handcuff what you can do on the trade market to protect a perceived fragile reputation.
