"I spent more time on Cody's issues than every other player combined on our team the last three years," Gillis said.
Roberts was flabbergasted.
"I listened to Mike Gillis the other day," Roberts said by phone over the weekend, "and my impression was, 'Are you kidding me?'
"If anybody knew this kid, this young man, to know what he went through mentally and physically for two summers trying to find out what the heck was wrong with him -- of course they dealt with his issues more than anybody else in the organization because he was injured and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.
"It almost was like they thought he didn't want to work. Well, I can tell you that this kid out of all the kids that I train, he's up there in the [Steven] Stamkos group as far as commitment and determination. What I tell him, he does, so I know he's coachable and I love working with him."

From the standpoint of him being a pro sports executive this is borderline inexcusable. I've seen corporate VP's excused for less. (and on a much smaller scale mind you).
This guy is the face of his franchise and for him to sling mud like this ? How juvenile can you get ?? He may as well have pulled a "I know you are but what am I ?"
