That would be a good fit.

I think Karlsson will probably follow him there in 2 years as well.

Alfredsson has always been a fraud

 

[LeafChief]

It seemed like he was leaving to get away from the game for a bit (at least it appeared that way from his statement)?

Was he just taking the high road?

That's why he stayed with the same team for 17 years (despite the cheap owners, the Chara/Redden/Heatley blunders etc.) and came back for 2 years as staff, right?

That statement to the press was just... odd. It almost sounds passive aggressive.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

It sounds like he got a taste of what it's like to work in the front office instead of on the ice, didn't enjoy it, and decided to move on.

I don't think it was any kind of insult, just sounded like he didn't enjoy the front office side of hockey.

Genuinely curious, but how? Just seems like he didn't enjoy the FO side of things. He also has an ailing parent back in Sweden and may be headed back there more permantely. Sounds like that more than any issue with the Sens org.

 

[Sol]

So what? Hes not obligated to give his life to the sens.

 

[A1LeafNation]

He was probably asked by Managment/Ownership, to tell Karlsson to take a discount.

Is that a legitimate guess, or just a nod to Alfie going to the Wings in 2013?
