I don't know about that. I really don't think he is a terrible person at all. I mean this is a guy that gave a significant portion of his signing bonus as a teenager to the tsunami relief and has always been very active in children's charities. Maybe some of his swagger rubbed people the wrong way, but he is hardly a terrible person. I know for a fact that he was well-liked in Ottawa.
Sutter was simply trying to get more depth for what he foresaw as a diminishing asset. He made a bad trade (IMO), but his overall body of work with the Flames was good.
