Couldn't have a sharper contrast in that photo: from Yashin (classless) to Alfredsson (total class).

I'm so glad the Senators got a great return when they got rid of Yashin. All too often it goes the other way, and the team loses out big time when trying to move a disgruntled star player. The Sens managed to maintain their momentum and take the team to a higher level of performance without Yashin. It was a victory in terms of the team winning out over the individual. 

Anyway, I'm happy to forget about Yashin. I actually forgot about him many years ago. 

Yashin just might be the most hated player in the NHL. (By fans.)

His actions were entirely selfish, and he broke all of the rules regarding contracts. That man had no honor.

Major team chemistry problems with the Leafs, and it starts at the top with Phaneuf and Kessel.
