Friedman thinks Alfie's feelings were hurt. Friedman is a man with many connections, and it's likely that that's what Alfie himself may say one day, but I have trouble believing that's anything more than an excuse from the Alfredsson camp. If Alfredsson were truly interested in returning to Ottawa, would he have been so fickle as to let one conversation after 17 years ruin his relationship with the club?
The reason Alfie left is probably a lot simpler than that. And it's likely a bit of both. Even if he were willing to accept lower than market value, it's unlikely that Bobby Ryan alone puts the team in cup contention. Find me a team that's won the cup in recent years without spending near the cap, and I'll find you a unicorn. Visual approximation of the aforementioned unicorn finding.
Courtesy of BringBackLee If Alfie doesn't return to the city of Ottawa post-retirement, only then do we have reason to believe Alfie actually felt wronged by the team, but until then, I'm going to assume this was a business decision. Being "offended" by the offer seems like an out clause to seek greener pastures. Alfie himself said it was a selfish decision, and if there's anything we've learned about Alfie interviews in the past, it's that he's painfully honest.
Would Alfie change his entire philosophy simply because of one bad conversation? Probably not. Bonk's Mullet. Related Posts. Leave a Comment. Blogs Published at silversevensens.

From a pure hockey perspective, Alfredsson also has a different job with the Red Wings. Coach Mike Babcock has moved him up and down the lineup throughout the first three weeks of the season, giving him plenty of different challenges along the way.
It has been a long time since anyone considered Alfredsson a complementary player. Early this season, Alfredsson is fitting in smoothly in Detroit, perhaps in part because of his unassuming nature and the core that has been around and already won the Stanley Cup.
What makes Alfredsson different is that, like Iginla and Jagr, he has been a star and is used to the good and bad that comes with the spotlight. I think it helps right away. Alfredsson has certainly done that.
