Dominic Moore Traded

PrintAlternate Title: Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish: Dominic Moore is GONE
Congratulations, you're useless!
Tim Wharnsby is reporting from Leafs' practice that Dominic Moore is headed to Chicago. No word yet on what the return is. From The Globe and Mail:
Our man Wharnsby reports from Leafs practice that Dominic Moore is headed to Chicago.
12 goals in 63 games and Dominic Moore wants $3m a season? He should be glad Brian Burke didn't break his neck at the bargaining table.
Dominic Moore embodies everything wrong with how the Leafs were run. Players from Ontario should want to play in Toronto for less than they'd sign elsewhere. The Leafs shouldn't overpay players to have them remain in the blue and white. Three million? Dominic would be lucky to have a roster spot on a playoff team, that's why he gets waived so much.
Moore spoke publicly about wanting to take a hometown discount yet turned down a three year $5.1M deal. Does this guy think he's worth more than that? He honestly won't see more than 10 minutes of ice a game for a good team. The Leafs are rebuilding and that forces crummy players like Moore into larger roles where they can produce more by sheer virtue of not having anyone better around to do it. I'd be happy to get anything at all in return for Moore, let's hope Chicago sent something juicy. In closing, don't let the door hit you on the way out Dominic, I've always hated you.
Update: From the Globe and Mail:
Steve McAllister: Leafs are now denying that Moore is going to the Blackhawks. We'll see.
Update2: TSN confirming a trade, details to follow.
Update3: Archimedies saying Moore to Buffalo confirmed.

I liked Moore...
up to the point where he asked for too much money. I agree that his role was elevated because the overall lack of talent, but you can’t deny the fact that he worked every shift on the ice. I wish we could have resigned him, but I am glad Burke was willing to only do that on his terms. It is such a new experience having a GM who knows how to say “No”
Southern fried hockey...mmmm, tasty.
I don’t care about hard work, I want results.

Ouch. No.
Dominic Moore played with heart and courage. He made Jason Blake’s contract look acceptable. ACCEPTABLE!! Do you understand how astounding that is?
Moore will be missed. JFJ’s only good move was aqcuiring him.
We shoulda kept him just so he could slap Jeff Finger around from time to time.
by general borschevsky on Mar 4, 2009 1:51 PM EST reply actions
Bang on General....
…except that we can’t keep him. Trade him now, while his value is at its peak.
But the Moore hate is uncalled for.

Don’t go down the Eyebeleaf route. The guy has one good year and tries to gouge the Leafs with it and uses his Harvard education to figure out that talking about a ‘hometown discount’ is the best way to sell the move.
Thank God JFJ isn’t here to meet his demands and throw a no-movement clause in on the contract.

Agreed.
But he’s a guy we picked up off waivers – for nothing. He kicked Jason Blake’s ass into gear. It now looks like he played hard enough that we’ll actuallyl be getting something in return for him today, i.e. an asset we didn’t have at the start of the year. Why hate the guy?

Moore might get 3 million on the open market. He’s not worth that to the Leafs so I understand the situation. He deserves respect though. He played better then anybody ever thought he would. Totally distinguished himself from his twin, Boyd Devereaux.
by general borschevsky on Mar 4, 2009 2:15 PM EST up reply actions
Anybody who pays him 3 mil should have their head examined. He’s been a good and consistent player on a bad team. He made the most of the opportunity that was given to him, for which he should be commended. He isn’t worth that kind of dough, though. There will be other utility players who can play a smart defensive game on the 3rd line and chip in ten goals. We can pay that guy what he’s worth, somewhere in the 2 million range.

Well, he tried. I don’t think a 2nd and another pick is that bad a return for a rental.

I was expecting a second rounder. There really wasn’t a need to call him out publicly and also tell the world the team has no interest in re-signing him. Antro just got treated pretty shitty despite being a good guy.

Antropov is the Rangers’ new goal scoring leader, and has one fewer point than Nik Zherdev, good enough for second place there.
by Karina on Mar 4, 2009 2:55 PM EST reply actions
and that’s only worth a 2nd rounder?

PLAYOFFS!!!!1
Why do I read Cox:
For Antropov, it’s clear that the Leafs could have fetched much more for the former first round pick if they’d been proactive and traded him last year. Once more, another case of where hanging on to a player too long cost the Leafs.
Does anyone recall this being the case last year? That Antro was an in-demand asset?
