Strange...This article says Daniel was drafted 168th overall. But other web sources say he was drafted 133 overall. I will change this. Masterhatch 31 July 2005

Swedish Canadian? Is that acurate? I didn't know he got a Canadian citizenship. -- Earl Andrew - talk 21:09, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

"He missed the start of the 2002-03 season when he held out for more money, but returned on a brief two year contract. In 2004 he was signed for five year thirty-five million dollar deal that would see him play with the Senators for the rest of his career."

He hasn't died or retired, so why would that see him play with the Senators for the rest of his career? That last part should be modified, unless someone can give a reason not to.AWDracer 9:11, 01 February 2006 (PST)

I assume that the sentence is based on the fact that he'll be 37 when his 5 years are over, and a as forward he's not likely to go on to some other NHL club.

Compromise, I changed 'should' to 'is likely to'. Hdw 21:50, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

i object to the line "alfredsson is known for his grit and leadership abilities". the lack of grit on the sens was a huge problem for many years, and was usually cited as one of the reasons that the sens have struggled in the post-season. ditto for leadership - alfredsson has been notoriously bad in the post-season and his leadership has been called into question basically every year since he's been captain. if this is supposed to be an 'encyclopaedic' entry, that line should be removed.

If you feel that line should be removed, then remove it. If you feel that it is plausable, but want a reliable source to justify it, add a {{fact}} tag to the end of the statement. Vandalizing the article is not going to be tolerated, however. Resolute 15:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Obviously a Leafs fan..

The author of this biased article should remove "one of the most hated players in the NHL" which is completely untrue. From a Toronto Maple Leafs perspective, yes he is hated - but no other fans show any animosity towards him.

Hear, hear. I hate him, but I am from Toronto and a Leafs fan and when I speak to other people they love him.

[edit] Sweden

I think I read something on the project ice hockey page aqbout someone who changed provinces and such on players. IMO it shouldn't say that he is born in Gothenburg, Västra Götalands län it should say Gothenburg, Sweden. --Krm500 15:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
