Fisher gone

[jeffc]

Really don't like the "spin" I have seen on tv regarding this trade. Hockey is a business, the players know it, and trades come with the territory. For Murray, or the media, to play this as a good deal for Fisher "for family reasons" is just WRONG IMHO. Who he marries and where she lives is a NON ISSUE. Sure it would be "nice" to send him to his wife's home town BUT in business you have to get the best bang for your buck. IF Murray really took Fisher's family situation into account then he is letting his human side adversely affect his business side. I'd sooner have a heartless Bast*** running the team and getting us into the playoffs every year than have the current country club atmoshpere.

he had a no trade clause so the reality is, he didn't have to go anywhere. It was done amicably and Murray got a lot, considering Fisher probably wouldn't have gone anywhere else.

The media was the one who claimed Fisher had a no trade clause but he never did. Murry did address the media a couple of weeks ago on this issue.

People who claim Mike went to nashville because of Carrie are right but not beacuse of the reasons you think. The Preds are using the marrage of Mike and Carrie in the papers big time to get people in the seats right now. The first game Mike played this weekend all upper bowl seats were $12 and from what was said Via twitter Carrie was shown on the big screen as much as the game was. Nashville knew they could benefit big time from Mike as much off the ice as they could on so thats why this deal was done.

Mike may have a couple more good years left in him were he can play the physical game he plays so getting somthing now for him was a great deal!

He actually didn't and this helps to explain why
