08:20 AM ET 10.24 | In the estimation of his former GM, David Booth remains a player with a significant upside. [Booth] obviously didn't see this coming. The popular Panthers winger joked about his Michigan State football team in the morning and showed up to the BankAtlantic Center early to do his workout. Then he was traded. Booth apparently broke down in tears when informed that he was traded to Vancouver in exchange for veteran wingers Mikael Samuelsson and Marco Sturm. Booth left a message for his teammates on the dry erase board in the locker room. ... [Said Dale Tallon:] "A lot of things come into play. We're in the performance business and I was not happy with our team's performance, especially the last two games," Tallon said.

Don't worry, David. You'll get over it. Pretty quickly too I'll venture.

You can understand the emotion when headed to Luongo land. But, I'll bet he wins more in Vancouver and then I'll bet he winds up pretty happy with the deal.

They should have sent back a certain ex-Panthers player instead...
Anyway, this didn't make Vancouver a better team. And if they have any hope of doing what they did last year, they need to shake up their D more than anything.

I'd cry too if I found out I'm going to be playing with Flopongo for the next decade.

Sort of like you, Hank, Santa and Canuck would do if Bobby Lou was traded to the Wings? That sobbing would raise water levels in the lake! :-)

It wouldn't bother me at all Slappy. I don't follow baseball so if he went to the Rochester Red Wings I'd never have to hear about him again.

My God! Now that would be serious Rex. I was only kidding.
PS
Nice try Canuck. But I'm sure none of you have to worry about Bobby Lou! Ken Holland wouldn't ever make that kind of mistake!

A better headline would have been -
"Trade takes toll on Booth."

Nice. Now if only he changed is first name to John, he was traded to the Penguins and sent down to Wilkes-Barre then I'd have something. But alas...

It appears he has a touch of agoraphobia.
Can we call him "Isolation Booth?"
