@Podein25 @jammer2 I hear what you're saying, especially the respect for the kid wanting to play in Canada. Hell even as an American that point taken by itself makes me proud. But I'm not sure that refusing to sign with the team that drafted you is what we all would do....if so, the draft would be completely meaningless. It strikes me as pure arrogance for a player to decide that he's bigger than system, to Hell with the team that wasted a draft pick on him. Now in the interest of full disclosure, I have a personal bias that skews my objectivity - my family were Baltimore Colts season ticket holders. John Elway refused to play in Baltimore and eventually forced a trade that netted them an average player and a draft pick in return....the football equivalent of a bag of pucks. 9 months later the Colts were in Indianapolis. There were a lot of reasons for the move, but to this day I believe that if Elway just stfu and played for the team that drafted him, the Colts would still be in Baltimore. Either way, I never forgot that punk b*tch flipping the bird to an entire city and fanbase. And before you say it, I felt the same about Lindros blowing off Quebec City. So to come full circle, no this won't mean the Ducks will leave Anaheim, but I just think it's a d*ck move. Nobody is bigger than the game.
