I honestly no longer have any issue with St. Louis wanting out of Tampa Bay to go to New York. Sure he could have handled it better, but he's wanted to play for the Rangers for years now, and asked for a trade multiple times. Yzerman managed to get a great return for him, so it's not like Tampa made out that badly themselves.
Then of course he made the right choice, considering New York is one game away from the finals, while the Lightning were the only team who didn't win a game in the playoffs. The guy only has a couple years left, and wants to win the cup again, so I can't hold a grudge against him.
Of course if you're still holding 2004 against Richards and St. Louis then I completely understand. Hard to get over that.
