how did you feel about Greg Maddux coming back ?
Chicago Blackhawks 2026-2027
Meh, it's a business and tens of millions are at stake. Owners have to make dollars fit and players need to strike while the iron is hot. Keyboard warriors, like all fans are, cannot even begin to comprehend or fathom the amount of 0's on these offers.
There's no loyalty on the players side nor the owners side and the fans opinions change once the player contributes to success.
Dennis Rodman and Aroldis Chapman come to mind immediately. They were despised by the fans, came here and were celebrated.
If Micah Parsons rebounds next year and the following year he's was available, nobody would care that he was on the Packers if he got 15 sacks for us.
If Willson Contreras came back, was a DH, won the HR Derby and hit 30 HRs for the Cubs...it's amazing how quickly fans come back around.
If Kane has a phenomenal season and the Hawks get into the playoffs, you won't think any of those goals/assists are tarnished because it came off of Kane's stick.
There's a big difference in somebody voluntarily leaving for a couple more bucks as opposed to basically being shown the door and traded or released.
I'd take Kyle Schwarber back.

Neither Greg Maddux (or Schwarber in the comment above), went to play for the Cardinals. That is the main difference. Leaving and coming back is not the issue, it is choosing to play for a team's arch rival that is the issue.

You guys are continuing to miss the point. For years, Kane was the face of the Hawks. During his time here, the Wings were our main (and hated) rival. He voluntarily chose to go play with them. I see that as an issue. If you don't, then fine.
Micah Parsons has spent 1 season in Green Bay, That is not even remotely the same. What would be is if Aaron Rodgers had decided to leave Green Bay and came to play a few seasons for the Bears and then decided to go back to Green Bay to end his career. I'm not a Packers fan, but I would guess that there would be a few that might have an issue with that.
Don't we need a physical presence to protect our skilled players or is that a thing of the past? I don't mean a goon but someone like Foligno?
Is it Greenway?
