TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

Best move: Cliff "The Silver Fox" Fletcher made his best move on draft day, moving up and taking bruising blueliner Luke Schenn with the fifth overall pick. After trading first-rounders for goalies twice in the past few years, the Leafs moved into the right direction by trying to rebuild a system that’s as dry as the numerous unsigned contracts waiting for Mats Sundin’s signature.

Worst move: Jeff Finger: 94 career games, $14 million. I feel bad for Finger because what player of his skill would turn down such coin over four years? Still, I hope the media and fans of Toronto don’t expect value on this contract.

Cory at Canes Country takes a look at the best and worst moves of the summer for each team. I had this discussion with some friends but even though Hal Gill managed to make $2M look good is there any way that Finger can live up to the contract?

There is basically no way that Finger will be seen as anything but an overpayment (this first year at least) unless he scores 50 points.

every mistake, no matter how minor, will have people clambering about how we might as well have kept McCabe

Uggghhhh

Good point. Even though it would still be fewer mistakes than McCabe would have made.

Bingo

Lots of pressure. Hopefully he’s up to it. Sadly, good defensive effort won’t be enough to keep the baying hounds from lording every mistake over him.
