Hey Leafs fans ..Burke couldn't find a decent center desperate enough to play there so he's going to convert JVR, a 3rd line overweight winger into your #1 center....oh yeah and he's locked up 6 years..enjoy..
sad part is Homer finds himself a diamond in the rough with Bob and then has to dump him because Snider has no patience...then when Bob finally develops Columbus will look like geniuses for trading for him..
This is a great question and it looks like NO.... Parise and Suter were offered monster contracts by Homer and passed... Jagr had enough and left...Hamhuis told us to get bent... I think with the whole Richards/Carter shakeup and the fact we haven't won a cup in almost 40 years...leaves this team undesirable to play for..
I can deal with the mediocre signings but we really need a better backup goalie for christs sakes... we all know Bryz is going to struggle and putting Leighton it you might as well pull the goalie...I wish he was more aggressive going after a goalie..there were alot of decent options available..
Agreed our goaltending is weaker...Bob is better than Leighton Defence is weaker...lost Carle..replaced with Syrvet and a host of rejects.. Offence is weaker...lost Jagr and JVR..replaced with noone Parise and Suter both turn down monster contracts to play in Philly What the hell is going on? The season look bleak..
we are stuck with Bryz..but if you signed an adequate backup like a Montoya or Ellis then atleast you have a backup plan...Leighton doesn't even belong in the NHL.. people who keep bringing up Leightons past don't remember he had serious back surgery after that playoffs and was never the same again..he' s finished
