I have to admit, I've been in quite a few of those myself where I've resorted to the name calling. But I feel we both made strong points and it was a fair discussion.
Fair enough. I was disappointed, as a fan, when they left and thought it was somewhat of a betrayal because both of these guys made their careers here, only to abandon ship. I guess I really have nothing to argue about anymore. Nice rational discussion Montana. I don´t get this too often on the internet without some immature insults being thrown around.
Ok, well first I'd certainly tell the employee the benefits of staying on board and the reasons why I think it would be bad for him to go. But I would certainly not get pissed and try to force him to stay. I would be angry as hell if I wanted a different opportunity, no matter how odd the circumstances may be, and to have an employer put me down for doing so. Even Holland wasn't pissed when this happened with Feds. He was disappointed but not angry.
Ok, let me paint you a scienerio.You´re an employer and you´re paying a guy a lucrative wage(salary)and he also enhances his career by getting multiple personal awards thanks to a work team that is committed under your leadership(Stanley cup).This employer gets an offer from company "b" which is a worse company, offers less salary bonuses and is generally known as a poor organization.He takes their offer and leaves you high and dry looking for a replacement.Would you be upset as an employer?
...For money as opposed to making a personal decision. I'm a Mariners fan in baseball and I despise A-Rod for that reason but still love Griffey and Randy Johnson despite them wanting to leave. And it has to do with the circumstances. For me, Fedorov only deserved the criticism in '98 when he held out but not when he left for less money in '03.
Sure I respect their decision to leave but again, they couldn´t have cared about the Detroit organization THAT MUCH if they were leaving to other teams for LESS money. That´s why they loose lots of respect for Detroit fans. Did they contribute and play well in a Wigs uniform? Absolutelty, but why leave when the team wants/needs you? It´s like leaving for a new job that pays you less money. Winning these cups rubs the salt in the wounds of these guys though, which is justice in my mind.
ahhh....fedorov...YUM =P
