I think it's more a statement about what kind of guy Okotoker is.
We may not have lost a top 4 defenceman when we traded him away, but we certainly lost a lot of the personality and drive of that 04 team. You saw it in how he played, how he was willing to trust Sutter and take a lower contract, and how he conducted himself on CP.
Good for him.
I now hate him though.
