I have stated multiple times that it is purely optics. If he doesn't want to be traded for family reasons because there were major complications with his last child, then request a leave of absence or retire now. That would not leave some of us feeling like he is being a jerk.
Many folks here bagged on Sundin for refusing to be traded (under a NTC) because he wasn't being a team player. Now that it's one of our own, lots seem to be ok with it. I don't get this place sometimes
