People willingly trade for players like Sean Avery and Evander Kane for god's sake who everyone can see are way more out there. He's about to turn 33 and he's been on 4 NHL teams which to me seems pretty normal. And Jersey is shopping him now because he's always hurt and playing bad lately.

The museum stuff was silly but regardless I remember at the time of the Lindholm deal I was really wanting Dougie off the team and I was over the moon pumped when they acquired him 3 years earlier
There is something about Dougie and it is hard to understand what exactly. He was traded twice before he was 25, the Canes didn’t make a huge effort to re-sign him and the Devils are trying to force him out at 32. I think he either annoys people or rubs them the wrong way because he has the size and skill of a franchise Dman.
