Did Martin Havlat ever divulge what his beef with Chicago was?
I remember him "twittering" how the world will see how he was wronged in Chicago but I never heard the follow up on that!
Stat of the day-
Martin Havlat 2 Goals
Marian Hossa 2 Goals
StarZero- Who is the retard in your avatar? Havlat a float who doesn’t battle along the boards? First time I have ever heard him mentioned in that context…although we must all consider the source.
Havlat Scouting Report-
Strengths
Havlat is fast, particularly in sprints, and has superior stick-handling skills. He is excellent one-on-one. He creates highlight-reel goals and can score in the clutch. The skill, willingness and confidence to take risks with the puck comes from his upbringing in the Czech Republic, according to another Czech winger and conference rival, which encourages creativity with the puck. Havlat is responsible and plays hard on the defensive side. He uses not only his shot, which is very accurate, but also his teammates, Havlat is versatile, able to play all three forward positions, and is a powerplay threat. He has an edge to his game and is good at drawing retaliatory penalties.
Weaknesses
Somewhat slight for his height, he can be contained or at least limited by big hits. He has been bothered by groin injuries during his career, which could worsen as he gets older.
He isn’t as effective if he doesn’t get enough minutes. "In the games when he plays a lot, he puts up the numbers," says the rival winger. In his first 10 games of playing fewer than 15 minutes, Havlat had three goals and four assists–an average of 0.7 points per game, His average in the games in which he played more than 15 minutes was 1.15 ppg.
Don’t you hate when I confuse the issue with the FACTS there StarZERO?
Cyrenaica- Thank you sir.
He was not a fan of John McDonoughs. I’ve heard a couple of interviews he’s done since and he blames McDonough for showing a lack of loyalty to him, Khabi, Savard, and Tallon.
Here’s a site referring to an interview he did with Darren Dreger of TSN

And Marian Gaborik 19 Goals.
I remember he was upset but never heard the full story. Something about have been close to a deal and then they went and spent the money on Hossa maybe?

He was probably upset when they told him to battle along the boards. He’s a float, score, float, score player. Good thing he can shoot or he’d be in the women’s league with you Bob.

Maybe because they pissed him off in negotiations and he was mad they lowballed him and paid the money he wanted to Hossa and felt slighted?

they just didn’t want to pay him what he wanted, and he whined. "there is no loyalty" was his point of contention. (I think his agent did the twittering)
As I recall, havlat could’ve signed after the playoffs, but chose to see what the open market would bring, so the hawks were not going to wait. that probably brought a sour taste to the mouths of management.
