This is kind of hilarious, well maybe Dimitri if you weren't a turnover machine and actually played defense you would have gotten more minutes.

It was a letdown for us too Dmitri

You could see it on the ice. Rod benched his vodka loving ass in the middle of the year. 100 a liability. I don’t appreciate his time here.  fug him. I hope Boom kicks his ass when we play the sharks next year.

Seemed like he was at least accepting some responsibility in the article.

He just didn't fit and was promised a few things that just weren't likely or maybe even possible for him to accomplish in the Canes system. Hindsight probably says both teams regret the signing to a degree. 

 

That all being said, the dude played his ass off and could hip check someone into a different dimension.

I'm not going to go so far as to say his time in Raleigh was garbage because he had some big moments, and he never backed down from anyone. Matter of fact, he came to the defense of more than a few Canes players when no one else did. 

Do I think his contract was too big- yes. Do I think his defense got worse over the years- yes. Do I think he should have stayed- no. 

But I cannot write the guy off as a complete waste and bad-mouth him out the door. He admits to the mistakes he made and I think the small language barrier takes some of his words out of context.

We're better than that.
