YOU SAID IT: Alfie gets an upgrade

Sunday, July 12: Here are today's Ottawa Sun letters to the editor.

ALFIE GETS AN UPGRADE Daniel Alfredsson knows which side his bread is buttered on. Toronto. The money, the loyal fans, a great city and a chance to work with the most valued and popular team in the NHL.

It will only enhance his coaching resumé. He’s also now in the most difficult and stressful market. Let’s see how he handles real pressure.

Good luck, Alfie. CARLA ARMSTRONG OTTAWA ALFIE DEFECTS AGAIN Daniel Alfredsson has defected again. Well, Ottawa Senators fans, what did you expect?

Here’s a guy who was named the team captain, could not get it done, and eventually fled for the promised land of Detroit in order to win a Stanley Cup. He did not get it done there, either. And now, after spending a few seasons in Ottawa as an assistant coach, poof, he jumps again, this time to Toronto.

Well, Leaf Nation, please hang on to him. DONALD MUNRO STANLEY RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB As one of the only defencemen capable of manhandling Brady Tkachuk, the Ottawa Senators would be wise to sign up unrestricted free agent Logan Stanley (who stands six feet seven inches tall).

VANCE WIRTH FORE! Gavin McKenna, the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft and a superbly talented young man, must be extremely proud of his achievements. Now he will be playing for our storied Toronto Maple Leafs, future all but assured.

The cherry on the parfait? He gets to be on the golf course before most of the other NHL players after the regular season ends. Yeah, I know, a cheap shot, but true.
