Buffalo isn't exactly an enticing destination regardless of what happens with Gionta.

..and because we're not enticing, we should make it worse by treating players badly? It can't help that, after they are done playing, a fair number of players are apparently forced to stay in the area...

I was actually trying (unsuccessfully) to point out that most players seem to like it here, to the point that quite a few make it home when they are done playing...Okposo claimed he chose Buffalo after talking with Moulson and Stafford who had great things to say about how they were treated here. Don't jump to conclusions about what I'm saying in regards to the rest of your post, I'm just pointing out that we acquired one of the top forward free agent last offseason so I disagree that Buffalo isn't an enticing place to play
Yeah who else was offering him $42mil over 7 years?

Treating respected veteran players like crap is how the team built their miserly, non-destination reputation under Regier.
Exactly. Anything gained in trading him against his wishes is not worth the rep hit created by treating Gionta like that.
Penguins? Devils?
I wish him well.
I'll go with Tampa after the move out a roster guy for McD or KarlssonPenguins? Devils?
I wish him well.
He doesn't deserve a spot in the NHL after his poor Olympic performance, especially on a playoff team. I'd actually be kind of annoyed to see him get another chance when a lot of players who might be better than him at this stage never get one.

I’m not saying you are. I’m saying your take is ... kinda immature
I hope Gionta, who by all accounts is a quality guy, a nice guy, a guy most level headed fans would root for, succeeds and wins a cup.
He’s not someone to root against. There’s plenty enough of those in the NHL. Looking at you anyone on the Flyers, Bruins and Leafs
