I don't see ego at all. Nor does that really fit the feel of the guy.
The team just won the division, lost in round 2 and had two players exit. They felt they did well in the Florida trade and wanted to get that additional top six presence back.
Didn't work.
But it wasn't an attempt to screw the team. It wasn't an ego move. It was a guy making a hockey move that he thought would have the team back in the mix as a contender.
He was wrong. But this need to paint the guy as a complete villain is just juvenile.
