Something is wrong in that organization...look at the talent/toughness that has passed through with nothing to show for it.

Keeping Redden over Chara
Hossa
Heatley
Havlat
McGrattan
Carkner
Fisher
Konopka
Meszaros
Volchenkov
Soandso
If I can nitpick, the general consensus in local circles was that Chara wanted out of Ottawa; both sides were way apart, and Redden was the consolation prize. It wasn't one over the other. But yeah, I agree that list is pretty pathetic.

I said back in July that losing Carkner and Konopka in one fell swoop was going to suck huge balls for this team, and here it is. Neil's a decent scorer when he doesn't have to be the lone sheriff, and I don't think I've ever seen Zach Smith do anything but serve as a speedbag for someone else's fists.

Ruutu's not even in the same Zip Code as Cooke. Come on. If you want to say Neil is a Cooke, then fine, whatever. But even when he played against Ottawa as a Penguin, and I didn't much like him, the worst you could say about Ruutu is, "Wow, what a greasy ****ing pest." I feel like people are confusing him with Jordin Tootoo because their last names rhyme or something.
