    You were all exited to get him at the time. The Leafs were so desperate they were throwing money at him.

    It's a smart move that gets them cap space that they were never going to get via conventional means. They were so fortunate that Columbus went for this.

    I most certainly was not but I will admit I was excited when we got Bolland (another acquisition that failed horribly).

    I liked Clarkson, but I hated the contract.

    I meant at the time of the signing. :p

    Anyone who doesn't want to play in a city like TO and a team that is beloved by its fans like the Leafs are should get the **** out. We don't want you if you don't have the stones to play here.

    So I read something interesting today - the 03-04 Tampa Bay Lightning team that won the Stanley Cup had a team salary of 33 million dollars.

    Today, that figure is 18 million dollars below the salary floor. Hockey hasn't gotten a ton of scrutiny, financially, other than the abundance of these 10 year deals being handed out, but that is a fascinating snapshot of how much the league has changed in 12 years.

    Those lockouts were useless when you really think about it. It brought up the salaries of the middle of the road players so much. The owners just can't help themselves.

    Woohoo... habs shutout leafs 4-0. :)
    1st in Conference and 2nd in League. :D

    I do too. Been playing a lot of Jedi Knight in past few months, hence sporting a Kyle Katarn icon. Leia icon is on vacation. :p

    Speaking of icons... Boba_Fett_2001 needs to bring back "Apu's kid with shotgun" icon. What is this current crap. :p

    Rangers pick up Keith Yandle from the Coyotes. Will help greatly in the playoffs, and we gave up peanuts.
