Trade makes us sick, angry

Kelly Egan couldn’t have said it better. The team “grows heroes then throws them overboard.”

What is the matter with Pierre Dorion and owner Eugene Melnyk? Dorion’s sunny press conferences after his latest trades make the average fan both sick and angry.

Don’t tell me that hockey, after all, is a business. Here’s some business advice for Dorion: People have to have a reason to buy an expensive product that they don’t need. Erik Karlsson, Mark Stone, J-G Pageau, etc., were that reason. Look at the love that was showered recently on Chris Phillips: You can’t dismantle everything that the fans love.
