He was traded to the Oilers for two 1st round draft picks.
He signed with the Red Wings after not being able to bring a Stanley Cup to Toronto, infuriating many Leaf fans.

In addition to Legace's stellar play, he was held back from being their starter because of a few nagging injuries.
He was sent down to hockey's 'minors' (2004).
He makes 8 million a year to either be booed while on the ice, be injured or play third fiddle behind Dominik Hasek and Manny Legace.
He is balding.
Red Wings fans prefer Manny Legace to him.
Critics of his have nicknamed him 'CuJoke.'
It is believed that the Red Wings are more than willing to trade him, but probably wont find many buyers because of his huge contract.

Why he might not be annoying:

He has a career goals against average of 2.75.
Although not being drafted, he signed with the St. Louis Blues and went on to be their everyday goalie.
He, in a rare showing for a professional athlete, has an informative official website.
He is patient, having not complained about being played behind Manny Legace.
He donates money and time to various charities.
While with the Edmonton Oilers, he bought a skybox and donated the tickets to Underprivileged children who would not be able to attend an Oilers game otherwise.
