Why he might be annoying:

He frequently rotated between the Predators and their farm affiliate prior to leaving the team.
He spent two full seasons out of the NHL, as he failed to crack a roster spot on the talent thin Florida Panthers.
He became inconsistent after taking the Predators starting goaltender's job.
Despite posting impressive regular season numbers, he performed poorly during the playoffs.
The Predators were eager enough to dump him, they dealt him to St. Louis for little in return.

Why he might not be annoying:

He became an everyday player for the Predators during his second stint with the team.
He is the ninth goaltender in NHL history to score a goal.
During the 2004-05 lockout, he guided Vålerenga Ishockey of the Norwegian League to a championship.
Despite his inconsistencies as a starter in Nashville, he managed to have enough confidence from the coaching staff to remain with the team.
He made his second start with St. Louis hours after receiving emergency appendectomy surgery.
