An excerpt from Larry Brooks’ New York Post article about Glen Sather UFA moves to date:

Again, how come players who had bad years other places, like Naslund, Redden and Dimitri Kalinin, get the benefit of the doubt from Sather, but Shanahan doesn’t?

Where is this great respect for these all-time players that Sather promised and boasted about during a chat with a pair of writers at the Entry Draft in Ottawa?

Would Sather ever have treated Mark Messier this way (rhetorical question)?

What happened to all these allegedly great draft picks from four and five years ago who should be ready to challenge for third- and fourth-line spots this fall but apparently aren’t, thus prompting Sather to sign people from other organizations for too much money as support personnel?
