Reply #44: No bias against the leafs

[Ravenseye]

Honestly. Don't have any problem with them at all. I just think that

1) Signing players with a history of multiple concussions or recurring injuries. Yes, that refers to Mario as well. If you can get 60 games out of him then he's worth it. I think he can do it, maybe once more. He's not worth 5 million a year though if he only goes 10 games.

2) I'm not all giddy with the players the Penguins have signed. They got Gonchar instead of a good +/- give em the hurt player. It's a different situation though. The Penguins were far under the cap, The Leafs were struggling to stay under. They already have their role-players. You're just not familiar with them because the team didn't come together till the last quarter of the previous season.

3)The Leafs have a TON of good talent there already. It's not like they're running around like chickens with their heads cut off. I love O'Neill though I know there are some that aren't fans of his. Sundin is an amazing player. Tucker, Kaberle, etc. Re-signing Tie Domi was a very good thing to do.

4) The chances of Lindros getting yet another concussion are HUGE. Huge folks. He's had how many? five? six? I'm amazed that any doctors will actually sign off on him playing. A Concussion isn't a back injury which might prevent you from playing contact sports. He might get hit and wake up a vegtable.

But hey, for only 1.5 million? Sure why not.
