I saw that thread. Yikes.
Still, it's not just Oilers fans. It happens with every team; A fan base is dying to get rid of a player, until they get a fair offer that really demonstrates just how low that players value is. That's the point where you go from "Get rid of this guy!" to "You don't understand his potential!"
I like Sully as a Ranger. He has better hands than Higgins, but isn't as competent defensively and doesn't play with as much grit. Still, that's a trade off I think this team could make and eventually benefit from. We have less of a need for the grinder that scores 20 in front of the net and plays defense, than we do the guy who scores 20 while sacrificing some defense to generate more offense for his linemates. Ultimately the same production, but a better fit in terms of personnel.
