Maybe that guy is Tkachuk, maybe somebody else, meh. Time to move on.

True. People complained about the Nilsson trade especially when the pick was used for a kid named Joe they never heard of. The team moved on. Even when Iggy was traded, fans found new guys to cheer for.
I tend to root hard for players we have and then almost forget them as they leave. Including Iginla, Newy, Theo, Gilmour, MacInnis, etc. They are just players on other teams.
