The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He played too long past his prime.
    He received little media attention during his prime years as a result of Los Angeles being a novelty city, prior to the Gretzky trade.
    Despite his accolades, he continues to get snubbed by the Hockey Hall of Fame.
    He spent his career on a Kings team that frequently underachieved in the playoffs.
    His tenure as the team's GM became a disappointment in the later seasons.
    His poor track record between 2002 and 2006 caused many King fans to revolt against him.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He, along with Marcel Dionne and Charlie Simmer, formed the famed 'Triple Crown Line.'
    Prior to his firing, he was associated with the Kings franchise for 22 years.
    He didn't mind stepping aside the role as face of the Kings franchise following the acquisition of Wayne Gretzky.
    He holds the Kings franchise record for most career games played.
    He left Clarkson University as the school's all-time leader in all offensive categories.
