When you get traded to the nation's capital, you catch the government's eye.
Matt Frattin, it seems, is forever destined to remain in Toronto. From Toronto to Los Angeles to Columbus to Ottawa to... actually still in Toronto, the 28-year-old's rights may now be owned by Ottawa, but for now at least, he'll still be contributing to this season's best AHL team.
Frattin will also be a free agent after this season, so it seems unlikely he'll ever really be in Ottawa's plans. That hasn't stopped Ottawa from taking an interest in him, though - just a different part of Ottawa.
