Per Bob McKenzie.

Glad Sutter parlayed him into something, because quite honestly the idea of him returning to this club does nothing for me. Guy was lazy and apathetic last year and very obviously thought he was above the junior game, and it showed. It is absolutely mystifying that the Wild kept him around, but it appears they have come to their senses somewhat and sent him back down. He was atrocious in the WJC (leading many to scratch their heads and say, "This guy is supposed to be an NHL player?", which he is not) and I want absolutely no part of his big-league attitude in Red Deer.

Good news for RDR fans, if all goes through and he heads to Portland, that's 3 picks and a player for a guy who didn't want to be here anyway. Good riddance.
