It's not fans on a message board. There have been a few media reports about O'Brien over the years that suggest he isn't a great character to have around.

Like I said, in lieu of even a passably decent return, waivers was an option if Tanguay really had to go. No reason to take back Jones when we are a rebuilding team. As someone else mentioned, in the big picture of the rebuild, Jones is nothing more than an expensive place holder. Let a kid do that instead.
