He also left us with a $10.5M 60-point winger who we're saddled with for another 8 years, now theres hope that he rebounds, but thats just 'hope.'
An expensive yet disinterested player on an expensive retirement contract for another 6 years in exchange for cap space, a 1st round pick and a heart and soul player.
And an expensive goalie on the wrong side of 30 who cant stop a Beach Ball for another 3 years.
All after letting our premiere player walk away for free.
You can claim that he left this team with assets to trade, but I'd contend that he left just as many Boat Anchors.
