Bringing in a player who puts himself above the team puts Sharks coach Todd McLellan in a tough position and team chemistry in peril.
While it is still early, Bryan Murray is my front-runner for executive of the year honors this season. Murray took one very sour lemon and parlayed it into two refreshing glasses of lemonade by moving self-centered Dany Heatley to San Jose for solid NHLers Jonathan Cheechoo and Milan Michalek.
