All the best to Milo!

Always appreciated his hard work and two way game.

Even when his career trajectory guided him to no longer being a top-six forward, he remained a reliable bottom six forward who can chip in and provide good two way play.

Peace out.

I admit to never being much of a fan of his but he certainly showed a lot of class for agreeing to the trade. Lots of guys would have said no, especially to a team that is lower in the standings.

Gonna miss Michalek.

Was a pretty good top six guy for a while, but unfortunately injuries caused his play to decline. Still a useful bottom six guy though and I hope he has some success in Toronto.

Thanks for the memories Milo! :handclap:

Always was a fan of his. Loved to see that even when he was not putting up the offensive production he was still visible on the ice doing the small things and giving 100%. That's what sets him apart from other players who just float around waiting (like some we have had in the past).

All the best, Milo...

Milan, you seem like one of the nicest, professional, classiest guys around.
I hope you can be happy in TO.
I really feel bad for this guy. I hope it works out. I mean I felt bad for the guy when he was traded from San Jose and now this.
Maybe he can be flipped somewhere decent.

Oh but it's not funny. All the best milo and thank you.

Trade doesn't happen if he doesn't wave his no trade clause, very classy move. :handclap:

This is the only player I'll miss.

Almost hope that he doesn't play any more games this season, don't want to see him in a Maple Leaf jersey...:cry:

Seems like a nice guy but wasn't a good hockey player.

Good luck!

I liked Milo. Not super upset but he was clutch on the odd occasion and was likeable.

The only player in the trade I'll miss

Is contract end at thé end of the year?

What about offering him a new contract lol. 2y/ 2mil. Don't know if Toronto will offer him something. Maybe he will want to come back.

The fact that this guy agreed to the trade to make it happen makes me view him in a whole new light.

Thank you, Milo. You're ten times the guy Spezza is.

He coulda said no but agreed to the deal anyway. Amazing.

He has another year left, and no we shouldn't offer him anything.

Rejoice that he's gone!

Good player, classy guy. I trust Babcock to use him well and give him the respect he deserves. I can see him bridging the gap for a couple of seasons until some of younger guys are ready to step up.

Still one of my favourites but on the down side of his career.
Karlsson was certainly upset to see him go.
Wish him all the best.

We are going to miss him, big time. A jack of all trades who can fill in anywhere without hurting the team. That is huge for a young club.

He was asked to waive, Murray said he was pretty pissed at the notion of playing for Toronto after being with Ottawa for the last seven years.

He still waived...

What a guy! You will be missed Milan, all the best.

Man, I've been thinking about it and I'm going to miss Milo. He was a good player for us and always gave it his all. I hope he gets traded and wins a cup, or maybe we can sign him in two years from now and he can win his cup with us.
