The idea that McGrattan is some mythical creature who just makes the locker room a great place to be irks me for two reasons:
1) These guys are pro hockey players. Even the youngest guy on the team has seen players and friends cut and traded off their teams for years.
2) Indirectly you are saying the other guys don't have the personality/great attitude of McGrattan.
He's just a guy. He's friends with Monahan but I'm confident Monahan isn't going to go into a depression if McGrattan leaves. Its a business and McGrattan is a pro player like the rest of them.
