Oh man CDC is savage over Loui. I definitely see the comedy and it's funny... But i do feel sympathy for the guy. Even though he's getting paid a lot, it doesn't mean he's not being negatively affected mentally by this situation. 

 

He's feeling all the negative energy. It snowballed right from the start for him... Huge contract that was criticized a lot by the media and fans then first game own goal, etc etc... 

 

Hopefully we can get a deal done and get him in a healthier environment. 

 

It will be best for both sides.

This guy was supposed to be a leader for this team on and off the ice. But clearly he doesn't have the leadership qualities we need.

 

Happy Birthday though. Enjoy your signing bonus! Hope you have a bounce back year (so we can trade you).

I can't feel sorry for him.  He's made 27 million here.  Why I can't is that I think he's given up.  If he'd be mad at himself for not living up to his contract he'd show it.  Somehow his nose for the net disappeared when he got here. He just dropped off a cliff scoring wise.  Okay.....all players decline, some faster than others. But where is the fighting spirit? Where are the hits? Where is a new dedication to being the best defensive player on the team? He has a 19 year old fellow Swede that is embarrassing him in not only goal scoring but playing a 200 foot game. How many blocked shots has Loui done? How much driving to the net and getting knocked down?  

 

I've given up thinking he can even pot 20, but if I'd see him just try harder I'd be better with keeping him. Its as if he's read the papers and heard he was only worth 2 million, so he's decided he's not going to play any harder than what he thinks a 2 million dollar player's effort should be. He's okay defensively, but he's no Kesler/Burrows. He's good killing penalties, but not some superstar PK specialist. I'd like to see him re-commit to a role as one of the teams premier shut down specialists. Because surely the offensive experiment is over for him. Be Best Loui.

I don't know if there is any truth to it or not that Benning was trying to work a three way deal which would have had him waive his no trade clause and we got James Neal from the Flames, Erikkson to the Oil, and Lucic to the Flames. He didn't want to waive his no trade clause and go to Edmonton supposedly? I'll be booing him loudly every time he touches the puck at any home game I attend this year. Sounds like he is selfish and doesn't want to be here so why he is still on our team puzzles me. Why doesn't he accept a fresh start elsewhere? Hopefully he is sent down to Utica or traded asap!
