Coach Bruce Boudreau has denied telling center Michael Nylander that he "wasn't good enough" to play for the Capitals, reports the Washington Post's Capitals Insider.
"I didn't speak to Boudreau directly -- he's running his Golden Horseshoe hockey school in St. Catherines, Ontario, this week -- but he issued a brief statement through a team spokesman," the Post article related. And then Boudreau is then quoted as stating, "I do not have any recollection of saying that to Michael. That's not my style, and not something I would say."
But Nylander, according to an article from Aftonbladet quoted on Jaspersrink, said, "He (Boudreau) told me he didn't think I was good enough. That's pretty straight-forward to me." The Russian translation, according to the article, reads similarly -- "He has told me that I am not good enough. A pretty clear message.")
Nylander is further quoted: "I want to switch teams, but it's not exactly easy. My deal is signed, I can't lower my salary. It'll be hard to fit in within the salary cap of some teams, and I want to make sure I'd fit in with the team as well. We'll see what happens, but at this point, I don't know."
