Favorite player traded?

Recommended Posts

What do you do usually when a player gets traded and it happens to be your favorite. For example Jason Arnott I was a fan of him when he was a Devil. Now I have been listening to the broadcasters say his name while hes playing. Am I the only one who does that?

i will miss mike richards a great deal... ivelost a total of prolly 30 minutes of sleep over that one

glad he's gone. I was bummed when they traded Brind'Amour away many years ago for primeau. still think that was their worst trade in the last 15 years.

I'm a lifelong Bruins fan but Phil Kessel is still my favorite player. Got real complicated the past few years since I had to route against TO because the B's had their first round picks. Now I can finally route for them as long as they aren't playing the B's. Still always hope for a Kessel goal when they meet up though. My only other conflict was when Bourque was traded to Colorado, obviously totaly different circumstances though since I think every Bruins fan was routing for him to win the cup with the Avs, while most of New England has turned on Phil for some reason, rather than thanking him for the 3 tremendous prospects he bagged them, one of them playing a pretty big role in bringing the cup back to boston...

Same thing for me as well, Bourque is my favorite player of all time and it sucked when he went to Colorado. However, I rooted for him to win the cup and felt it could not have happened to a better guy and player. He showed he was a Bruin at heart by bringing it back home when he had his turn with the cup which made it all sweeter.

however, I disagree with kesssel and that's as far as I'll go due to everyone being entitled to their own favorite player.

Classic case of an agent working his clients team for more, and the client takes the heat from fans.

Deservedly so, in such cases. The agent works for the client, and at his direction. The client is in charge, and can tighten that leash anytime he chooses. The client sets the objectives and priorities.
