What exactly does he need to do to cleanse his soul for those most terrible sins performed 3 years ago? Save 100 children from a burning orphanage? Honestly now.
Well, it was actually 2 years and 2 months ago, but that's getting picky.
Does he need to save a bunch of kids from a burning orphanage? Of course not, but he's done nothing to show that he's any kind of a team player
nor has he shown that he won't pull the exact same stunt the next time things aren't going his way.

Thanks Dr. Phil. Glad to see you've sat down and done a comprehensive personality profile of Mr. Schremp so that you can so accurately tell us what his "core characteristics" are.
Obviously, I didn't sit down and do a "comprehensive personality profile" of Rob Schremp, but your sarcasm is duly noted.
Regardless, it doesn't take a psychologist to note that, to use a tired cliche, a cheetah can't change it's spots. Through enough life experience working with and managing people, a person that whines/sulks/pouts/whatever may change for short periods of time when things are going in their favour, but it will never change over the long run unless an attitude adjustment is made as a result of drastic events; you don't need a doctorate, you just need to know people.

Well don't let facts get in the way of your opinion.
The fact is that Rob Schremp demanded a trade out of Mississauga for whatever reason, and refused to play until it happened. I wasn't aware of any other facts that I was debating. I formed my opinion based on that fact.
Is there any other way?

When the name on the front of the jersey has betrayed the name on the back for two consecutive years, I ask who would realistically want to apply said quote to themselves.
Again, you are completely misinterpreting what my problem with Schremp is. I also noted Jason Spezza in that group who also wanted a trade out of Mississauga but played until he was traded for a deal that was worthy of a Spezza talent. Schremp, as I recall, wanted only two teams (London obviously included) and made it public, thus nullifying any attempt to get fair market value.
