No half measures
You're allowed to think whatever you want just as long as you recognize no one knows the whole story and the full reasons why he made his decision. Journalists get information wrong all the time and we know agents feed them misinformation to help their client out at times. I will always maintain that if his heart was truly in St. Louis then our offer should have been good enough. I also think both sides knew long before the deadline that he wouldn't be coming back for whatever reason.
Regardless, I cheer for the logo on the front and not the name on the back. He was well within his right to choose Vegas' offer over ours, but I stopping being a fan of his once he packed his bags. Seeing Blues fans whining about Petro 4 years later is pretty lame if you ask me, but to each their own.
I cheer for the logo on the front which is why I lament the decision to let our most important player walk during free agency, leading to a decline in our success while said player just won a Stanley cup and is still a 1D 4 years later. These decisions matter to the logo on the front. We are in hockey purgatory because this decision ended our championship window.
