Might just be me but I just don't get the love in with Fitzgerald. He's a decent player who can play a good physical game but he is also an emotional bone head. He's done some pretty dopey things in the UK like gouging Batchy, head hunting Goulakos, Sucker punching Bois and every time come out with the most ridiculous excuses. Coupled with the points he's blown through giving up selfish minors I wouldn't go near him.
I get he plays a game fans can warm to as he plays the gladiator out there but the no of games lost through suspension and game management are too emotional.
I give him credit for his unselfishness physically and putting it on the line for the boys but in hockey terms personal take is he's a liability.
