The fact remains that we need Doty as a policeman and he chipped in offensively last year. With the rise of Sanford and the 4th line from last year we can replace Bostons points. Guys like Labelle and Broadhead will be expected to step up as heart, soul and energy guys. When you throw in that we got a 2nd rounder for Boston, it made him the obvious one to go. Now, in saying that, I wish we could have kept all the guys, Boston is amazing and I will miss him on the ice. But when one player must move on, it allows for others to step up!

Tigers probably took the best deal offered to them. I think we had someone to fill all the voids if any of them left besides the toughness and intimidation factor that Doty brings.
