You wouldn’t want a 6’2, 25 year old center than can skate, hit, put up 60-65 points and play solid defense?
All because he made a mistake when he was 21 years old while getting ridiculed by an old dinosaur of coach?
Calgary fans need to lose this mentality, we’re not exactly a destination for players. We would be lucky is PLD wanted to come play here.

I absolutely LOVE him as a player for the reasons you mentioned, but I think there's some legit red flags here. There's "the shift", but then he gets traded to the Jets, tells them he won't re-sign there, says he wants to sign with MTL which handcuffs the Jets, and now he won't even wait for his contract to expire. How many teams are going to line up to get this guy when he said he was going to sign with the Habs? Then there's all his antics on the ice, throwing hissy fits, and he can come across as a real DB in interviews.
I don't think he's the only cancer in the WPG locker room, but I don't think you can win with this guy in your group, just my opinion.
