Oh, no, the Leafs hired the enemy! Maybe they can trade for Ridly Greig, hire Arturs Irbe and sign a bunch of Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning players.

Anyhow, there's not that many things the Leafs have left before the long, hot summer. It will be fun when training camp starts and everyone remembers Alfie is here.

And as mentioned, every hire has a bro who knows him on the Leafs staff. Usually Jim Hiller, or in Alfie's case (I'm going to keep calling him that to annoy people) a bro of a bro.

With John Gruden moving up to the Leafs bench, someone has to take over the Marlies, we'll see who that is.

In other news, not that there is any much...
