Question from waaaaaay back - Sylvain Turgeon
I went down a rabbit hole and was reading the Wikipedia article on Sylvain Turgeon, one of the original Senators. There's a bit that says:
- Off the ice, Turgeon was the Senators' National Hockey League Players' Association representative. However, the players grew unhappy with Turgeon in this role and asked teammate Brad Shaw to replace him.[54] The next season, Turgeon was no longer an alternate captain.
And then:
- Turgeon attended the Senators 1995 training camp, but a week before its end in September 1995, he was dropped from the team
This despite him being reasonably productive on a really shitty team. Does anyone remember what happened to make the players "unhappy"? Turgeon never played in the NHL again after his time with the Sens even though he scored at a 25-30 goal pace in his last season.
Yes, that's right, I have no life.
