Ask him about…
Kevin Lowe getting rid of Patrick O’Sulliavan when he asked for help.
Turning one of the part owners son (at the time) into public enemy #1 because Kevin Lowe thought the player (Mike Comrie) should take an extremely team friendly contract because the player used the leverage he had to sign an entry level contract about what his draft position dictated, and Lowe wanted payback.
How the organization handled the entire Chris Pronger situation.
How the organization is suing a non-profit who helps the homeless.
These are just off the top of my head, but I could go on.
