Just remember:
not one reporter asked about Despres yesterday after suffering a concussion.
Imagine if that had been Letang or Martin or the precious, Pouliot. The team didn't make a statement. There was nothing said.
You can say Bort was dumped in the same way, but I think everyone would agree they're different players at different points, and Bortuzzo certainly got a much-longer opportunity to earn a spot.
I just find it sort of funny and sad.
I think it'll be very telling what kind of minutes / time / leash Despres is given in Anaheim.
If he isn't, I think we can easily take away that three organizations thought he had attitude issues.
If he lives up to what he should live up to, then we have even more ammo for the Pittsburgh Penguins being one of the worst NHL franchises in terms of upper management since probably the mid '90s.
