Joking aside I wish McCabe the best in Florida. He's been recently demonized by a lot of fans and the media in Toronto, and been used as a scapegoat for the Leafs problems that have been a long time coming.

The good news is, it looks like Fletcher has convinced MLSE that the only way to win in a salary cap era is with good drafting and smart team building, so hopefully he can execute that plan.

This morning's hot potatos:

- koopa kid thinks Toronto fleeced Florida in the Belak trade. Maybe he forgot that [Belak was drafted eighth overall](http://oldguysinblue.blogspot.com/2008/09/florida-1-maple-leafs-3.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). (oof)
- Steve lays down the Hammer of Logic (R) (TM) (Patent pending) on Damien Cox by [refuting the claim that the Leafs won't get 30 wins](http://leafs.hockeyanalysis.com/2008/09/02/analyze-this/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). On an important side note: I hope Cox is right, Tavares here we come!
- [jaredoflondon's blog holds mystical powers](http://diehardblueandwhite.blogspot.com/2008/09/it-is-official.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), also if your hand is bigger than your face you may be related to Jason Blake have cancer.
- [Carlo Colaiacovo was considering changing his last name to Ocho Cinco](http://wwold.blogspot.com/2008/09/bizzarro-leafs-report-carlo-colaiacovo.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), but find out what he actually changed it to over at The Wonderful World of Loser Domi.
- wraparoundcurl shows that [NHL players are as lumpy and strange looking ](http://wraparoundcurl.wordpress.com/2008/09/03/battery-burner/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)as the rest of us.
- MF37 makes some good points about [the Leafs' asset management](http://bitterleaf.blogspot.com/2008/09/something-i-learned-today.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). I wish that there was a statistic like VORP or Win Shares for hockey because I feel like it would show that despite McCabe scoring so much he was costing the team more than he was worth.
- Check out the second comment on [TSM's latest post](http://torontosportsmedia.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/mark-spector-the-common-sense-revolution/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). Pure, unadulterated, Cox-brilliance.
