A guy I used to play with got drafted by a team that he absolutely hated (Bruins). Vancouver is his team. He was simply thrilled to get drafted. I was talking with him a while back and I asked him what he thought about being drafted by the team he hates the most in the world, and he said that he honestly couldn't care less. He said he would willing play his career out as a 4th line plugger for the Bruins if it meant playing in the NHL. There are guys out there with integrity that will play just for the sake of playing. For every Erixon or Schultz there are 500 guys that play for the love of the game.
