I think the likable, vocal, honest person and the physical presence made a few of us overvalue him, me included. His pro-Ukraine stance won him some fans for sure, in a time when some Russian players stuck their heads in the sand. Initially I felt the return was awful . Fact is he doesn’t move the needle for the flames and obviously disrupted the room so had to go.
Next question- does he get booed or cheered sat night? A video tribute?
I think fan reaction will be mixed, more boos than cheers. Anytime you request a trade you’ll get booed by some for sure.
