Didn't we have this problem back in 2009? Too many quality D, not enough spots? I seem to remember that we ended up acquiring and then getting rid of some no-name during the off-season... Stralman I think was his name?

The guy just publicly embarrassed himself in front of the entire hockey world. Millionaire or not, he deserves some empathy.

Maybe embarrassed was the wrong word. Shamed? Mortified? Chagrined?

I'm just saying I feel bad for him and his situation, and that being a young millionaire shouldn't preclude him from sympathy is all.

So now we shouldn't feel bad for him because there are worse people on twitter? What are you even talking about?

You can feel however you want...but I wont lose any sleep over it because it doesn't matter...20 something year old millionaire put his foot in his mouth on twitter and it will be forgotten overnight.

he didn't embarrass himself in front of the "entire hockey world" 99% of people will never hear about it. Its July 1 FFS its already lost in the news cycle.

Light a candle if you want though

Its just not that embarrassing. He said he was excited about joining the Flames. It doesn't reflect poorly on him at all.

Disheartening for the guy I think is the word that best describes it. He was a total pro, publicly thanked his old club and then publicly mentioned his excitement for his new team/home only to have that shot down shortly thereafter.

Has he though? He hasn't made that much, is unlikely to make much more playing hockey, and I expect doesn't have much left...

Technically he has I guess, but you're right, compared to NHL players, he hasn't made much.
