I said this when he went to Toronto and was told I know nothing about hockey.
I don't like him. I don't think he's worth jack. And he didn't help the Leafs at all.
This signing makes zero sense to me, though I wondered if this was the plan when they traded Johansen (who I also dislike and for similar reasons).
I know a new GM wants to make a splash, but he's deluding himself if he thinks that team is close. To sign a 32 year old to that kind of money and specifically someone who has several times seemingly checked out on his team -- it's just management malpractice, IMO.
Hoping whoever it was when he went to Toronto who told me how star spangled awesome that trade was can come back and tell me how wonderful this was. Then i can know my opinion here has been truly validated.
