Nope. I have no desire to give a standing O or watch any tribute video to any player that didn't play the majority of their careers here. And I really don't want to watch a tribute for players that were drafted and developed here and left in their primes. If a guy is here for 12-15 years and is an impact player for the majority of their time here, like Iggy or Gio, I am 100% all for it. I'm also willing to make exceptions for players like Monahan who did not leave on bad terms and who would have been here much longer had it not been for injuries. Guys that spend the majority of their careers here and gave us the best years of their careers.
But guys like Gaudreau or Tkachuk? Go kick rocks. They won't end up playing the majority of their careers here and they both bailed on the team and the city in the prime of their careers. Good riddance.
