    Not a fan of this line of reasoning. So if it were you, you'd pretty much sign whatever contract put in front of you, based on the loyalty teams traditionally show players? What O'Reilly did was business and has no "business" being used as a negative for an award garnered by PLAYING the game ON the ice. Sportsmanship while PLAYING the game, not while negotiating contracts. O'Reilly did what most of us would do, try and get the best deal for him and his family.

    This is pretty much how I see it too. Trying to get a better contract isn't unsportsman-like, it's business. Besides, that was last season so it should be entirely irrelevant.

    I think Ryan Lambert at Puck Daddy says it best...

    "Everyone knows the Lady Byng award is a joke that no one cares about. Martin St. Louis, pouty little trade-demanding crybaby that he is, being nominated for it this season is pretty solid evidence thereof. If “sportsmanship,” or whatever, now includes demanding a trade because you were left off an Olympic team you eventually made, then sure, St. Louis is your guy."
