Red Wings fan here. This never would have happened to Steve Yzerman or Nick Lidstrom...The fact the Sens dragged their feet not resigning him and letting him play out his career here in Ottawa is an embarrassment.

I'm neither a fan of the Sens or Alfredsson as a player, but respect the hell out of him for sticking around with his team for so long and all the community work he has done here.

I could see him actually there for one or two years, and frankly I don't think he's coming back.
