Very similar to hamhuis last year where teams in the east wanted him but he would only waive for Chicago or Dallas. If players want the best for the organization that they portend to care so much about, doesn't it behoove them to do the organization a solid (and better themselves as well with a chance at a cup) and move on?
I know the answer is no and they've earned the right to say no but I've always wondered why players in these situations react the way they do. I know there are some hockey folks on this board and any insight would be appreciated.
