I liked it a lot at first. It started out funny, and I don't really turn to Tyler Seguin fic if I'm in the mood for complex inner monologues anyway. Also, insecurity and self-esteem issues are my usually my jam. But the way it was presented here was just OTT juvenile and self-centered, even if you assume Seguin is a particularly immature 24-year old. The kind of insecurity about his place on the team that was in the fic might work for his first season on the team when he's still new (though it'd still come across as kind of middle-schoolish). But there's no way he doesn't know how valuable he is as a hockey player now. I can believe in a Seguin who thinks he's not good enough for the object of his affections; I can't believe in one who thinks he's going to get traded any day.
I also found the PR stuff pretty unbelievable. I just don't believe that what PR staff teams have working for them have the power to pull players into their offices and lecture them, much less sign them up for multiple press "courses."
