I will be a little sad to see him traded in the offseason as he kind of took the baton from Iginla as a franchise forward and was the main reason to watch this team for years now. Like Iginla he probably didn't get the center he truly deserved to maximize his potential and without him we would probably be looking at 11 straight years missing the playoffs going back to 2009/2010. It's clear now that maybe his heart is out east and I don't hold that against him as the heart wants what it wants. As frustrating as the last year has been I have enjoyed watching him represent the team I cheer for and appreciate what he's brought to the team.
