Comparison

Colton Orr: 6'3", 222 lbs, 27 years old, plays every game, knows how to play hockey, but has no hands - can't put the puck where it needs to go, clean player, tough guy, $1 million a year

Donald Brashear: 6'3", 240 lbs, 37 years old, plays a minute and a half a week, big and dumb, slightly tougher guy, dirty pig, $1.4 million a year

We'll be starting next season with one forward suspended. You'll recall the reason why, because it was against us. You'll recall Blair Betts's orbital bone.

If he is not a part of a package to immediately send somewhere else, I cannot abide this. I will feel sick every time he takes the ice in my colors. Who's next, Jarkko Ruutu? Blair Betts is a Ranger. Donald Brashear is bullshit.

Maybe Torts is a 3-line guy. Maybe the 4th line will never see the ice. Fine. Then explain why we didn't resign Orr for $1 million, and paid $1.4 for this fucker. Remember that $5.5 million we saved by trading Gomer? Donald fucking Brashear is 1.4 of it. Wonder what other fucking gems the other 4.1 will find us.
