I didn’t mind Rooney. I thought he was a good role player for the 4th line.

They couldn't AI a Mammoth jersey on him ... lol. I honestly didn't have the irrational hate that many of you had for him. Am I glad we have other options this year - for sure, but I think he did a decent job in his role. Good for him. I wish him the best of luck in Utah.

I don’t understand the love the media gives for the Utah team. Mediocre team imo. I think they miss the playoffs.

Rooney on a 2-way contract makes a lot of sense as he's 4th line depth that you can send down or call up when injuries dictate. Rooney on a 1-way contract was kind of stupid.

I did a double take when I first saw the image. Signed and him in a Flames jersey lol. I was happy when he got his extension here after how Sutter treated him, and he was a good solider. Frustrating at times but I really don't have awful memories of his time here. That said, Utah is a younger quick team and I'm not sure he really fits.

Rooney's not a great player, but he's not as bad as fans here made him out to be.

Why do you think he is on a PTO 2 way contract?

He is bad.

Undrafted college player who made $6.7 million in 9 years, not bad at all.

And since he majored in finance he probably didn't blow it on sports cars and loose women.

Still like in the top 1% of the hockey players in the world, "he is bad" says a forum writer.

What is this delusion?

So we can’t have option on NHL player any more because they are hard to get in?

Bad compared to there peers, just like bad doctor, bad prime ministers, bad presidents….etc… get it?

He was on a PTO. Now he's on a contract. Still playing at 32. Not bad.
