So how is he a “traitor”? Sounds like a business man. Which is what NHL players are.
I don’t think he left Long Island cause he wasn’t getting the money there as well. He chose to play fir the leafs cause that’s where he wanted to play, which I agree with you, there’s nothing wrong with.

But I get why the Isles fans would be jaded, and I also support there rights to jeer him, although that was getting to cring worthy levels and I did start to feel bad for him. But Flames fan boo Phaneuf (no where near at that level) for simply getting traded, it happens.
