Kind of a bitter sweet thing for me. 3) Would refuse to play out his contract for the 1.5 million he signed up for while he got front loaded in the first place. Always a great Flame in my books, but, the departure was selfish and in a lot of ways, handi-capped the team as well. And retiring through a third party and him saying that you guys can tell them is pretty f-in lame in my books.

Well since those three reasons are largely nonsensical, you shouldn't let them affect your opinions of him as a player and an all around cool dude
