Dear Daniel,
As one of the biggest Ottawa Senators fans around, I would like to ask you the question all senators fans throughout Canada have been wondering about all summer. Why in the world would you decide to leave the only team and city you've ever called home to sign with the freakin' Detroit Red Wings? It felt like such a slap in the face when you did this, as I have idolized you my whole life and even flew up to see you play last February because you were supposed to "retire" after this year with the Senators. Watching hockey this year just hasn't been the same without seeing your patented top shelf slap shot on the power play. When you were in Ottawa you were royalty, you could be walking down the street right next to Steven Harper and more than likely you would be approached by citizens of the city rather than him. What confuses us fans so much is that we can't understand why you would give all of this up to go with another team, sure you have the chance to win a cup but lets be honest here, do you really think Detroit is going to come close to cracking the cup finals this year? Not likely. By doing this to us fans you've blemished your reputation with us big time, however we are also thankful for the 17 years that you have given to this organization and the patience that you've had with it. We're very sorry that you couldn't have gotten your stanley cup with the Senators franchise but at the same time don't expect us to be cheering for you now that you're on the opposing team.
Yours Truly, Nick
