I love the Met...seriously. It's amazing.
Last trip I saw this
https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibition...9/play-it-loud
it was a once in a lifetime experience.
I go and look at the Degas stuff every time I'm in NYC.
The Met = awesome.

Looks like New Jersey is readying to end their rebuild.

NJ is one of those teams that can quickly improve because of their lack of bad contracts.

These rumblings have followed him around from Boston to Calgary to Carolina. A quick google search doesn't have any hits of a girlfriend.
If he is gay, I could see how it would affect his relationships in the locker room and with other players. There will still be in groups and out groups. There are likely a non-zero amount of gay players in the NHL who haven't come out, who face social challenges that we don't know about.
Of course I could be completely wrong, but it's a thought.

I mean it's definitely possible, but at minimum he seems to be an introverted guy. The whole "rather go to a museum" thing was pretty embarrassing as a Flames fan. I know that's not the reason he was traded, but the team should have come out against that caveman bull#### pretty directly.
Personally I think a guy that doesn't fit in with a core that couldn't lead water down a hill is a good thing.
