Zads is one of my favourite current flames
However, I dislike the route of going public with a trade request, particularly when it sounds like this all unfolded rather recently. I don't think it's too much to ask a player and his agent to give an organization time to make a move before trying to force their hand publicly. There's plenty of guys around the league on expiring contracts every year and you don't see them all crying about it via their agent. Now it's an unnecessary distraction and takes leverage away from management in a trade. So from a fan's perspective it sucks. I do hope for his sake he finds a longer term fit somewhere for his family.
