Member of Calgary media accuses Johnny Gaudreau of ''stabbing City in the back''
Johnny Gaudreau shocked the hockey world at the tail end of the first day of free agency by signing a 7-year contract with a $9,700,000 AAV with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
As we all could guess, Calgary fans and media alike aren't too happy about his departure, and I want to preface this by saying fans are allowed to feel however they want. However, a member of the Calgary media and Sportsnet's own Eric Engels appeared on 650 radio to sound off on what he thought about the Gaudreau signing
I get the frustration and the sadness about their franchise centrepiece leaving in free agency, but Eric, come on man, sounding off on national radio about a choice that Gaudreau had every right to make, is not only unprofessional, but rather unbecoming of you as a person. He doesn't owe the city of Calgary or the fans an explanation, in fact, it's quite the opposite. His contract came to an end, he was unemployed and Gaudreau made a choice that worked for him.
Quite frankly, Mr Engels, you make other media personnel look bad with your cry baby behaviour.
