My hope is the relationship between Marty/Steve is warming a bit. I would imagine Yzerman has reached out to Marty, and perhaps, let's hope, since the story has gone public Marty has been given a different perspective. Most people aren't on his side in this, and that might have made him think twice. That's the hope anyway. If trade talks were heating up, I think there'd be leaks from the other end, particularly if it's New York.
I doubt it. I just wached the The Sportsnet panel (Theo Fleury, Marty Turco, Marty McSorley and Brian Lawton) are all on the side of Marty the egotistical baby.
They all think he's completely justified because Yzerman didn't usurp the selection process and play politics to ensure "his" guy got what he wanted.
They all said because Marty showed "loyalty" to Tampa in the past by not going to free agency, so since Marty wants out, the Lightning should just give Marty what he wants and it's "too bad" for Yzerman and the Tampa organization that he only is giving them one option and won't get fair value for him, but oh well, MSL should get what he wants because he's a class guy.
Seriously.
Makes me sick. Such a selfish little primadonna baby and all the ex-hockey guys think his behavior is completely acceptable.
I'm only in agreement for the exact opposite reason. I'm almost ready to say just get rid off him even though it will screw the organization because MSL has proven himself to be such a selfish baby that I just want him gone and off the team so he can't be a cancer.
I hate giving a petulant child what he wants, but I have absolutely no respect for this immature egomaniac. I can't root for someone who is so petty and ridiculous and so focused on himself and nothing else.
