While I think it's a good thing that Bondra is heading up here to Ottawa, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the man. I mean, he's the kind of player that every GM would sell their own mother for. Not only is he good both on and off the ice, but he's extremely dedicated to his team. This is a man who, despite playing with one of the worst teams in the NHL today, still stuck by his team. He wanted to be there throughout the rebuilding process. You can't buy that level of dedication.
Still, he's going to be an unrestricted free-agent next year, and while Ottawa has stated that they'll most likely exercise his option, if they don't, there's nothing stopping him from heading back down to Washington.
