It is honestly one of the only things players have control over is who they play for, and often times it is avoidable if you can provide whatever it is the player seems to be looking for in free agency.

With that being said I wouldn’t ever compromise my teams success to please the wants of one individual, Hockey is a team game and I’ll always value team success over individual.

Sure, it blows losing an important piece, especially for free but it’s the nature of the business and my players don’t owe me anything, they would still have a team without me, I wouldn’t have a team without them.

Ensio Kalju was great his time with the Blizzard, I have no issues with anything that happened while a member of the Blizzard, he ended up traded and we netted an incredible piece with the returns in Finn Rhys.

I’d say Independent, Gritty, Hard-Nosed, and Team Player as my five words.
