Ohlie is getting old and even he himself said he needed a change.
If MG was to put an offer for him he probably would have not taken it anyways.
If you have saw some of the plays down the stretch last year... Ohlund was very vulnerable against the speed of oppositional players (Gagner and Kane for example).
I find it hard to see Ohlie as a fit in the Eastern Conference with a lot of speedy and skilled players. He's not a player that he once was. I still like him as a player (and all that he's done for the Canucks) but his skills have diminished rapidly for the past few years.
