I think the Turris situation is even more similar. He was a high draft pick and hadn't shown much in his career to that point (although did have a good playoff). Turris was thought of as an entitled brat when he demanded a trade, and if I recall correctly, walked out on the team. Plenty of questions of what the return should be for a guy like that. In retrospect, Ottawa didn't give up much, and I would say he has been a pretty good pro.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
