This guy should've been benched last year when he was with the Panthers, he sucked ass even back then. Bad player and especially bad example for the younger guys on how to play the game. The negative press the Panthers got when the rumors started rumors circulating that he'll get benched (I think he was an extra on one game day warmup) was so overwhelming that they put him back in the lineup and played him as an extra D for the rest of the season, mainly using him as a PP specialist. He held the team hostage with his streak and they were forced to buy him out in the summer.
It's a dumb streak to begin with but ironic as hell when you have Yandle's name attached to it. The guy would willingly give up the puck just to avoid an incoming tackle.
