Disappointment...! That is the only word that I can think about when I see the transactions by Canadian teams on the last trading day. Not because of the lack of big trades... but its the non-sense and non-aggresiveness of the team movement in the eye of a stupid Canadian hockey fan.
Ottawa, is already the best of all adding another winger who know how to score. Vancouver, even with the lack of good forwards and penalty killer, giving up Matt Cooke for another Matt, Matt Pettinger who has only 7 points for the year.
Montreal Canadians, is making no sense at all... giving up Huet for what? A 2009 draft-pick (yes, not 2008, but 2009...!) Yes, he is at the end of the contract, but what we are losing? Don't tell me that we are hoping the match of Price-Halak can keep the pucks out of the net during the playoff runs and bring our Canadians to the Stanley Cup final. You must be kidding me. Even if Huet is not coming back, we only losing a goal-tender who those GM thinks only worth a 2nd round draft pick one year later. But now, we are losing the hope of going for the Cup... come on...!
My lovely Tronoto Maple Leafs. I do not have high expectations, or i should say i am having the biggest worry when Cliff Fletcher become our GM. Not to mention that we are only six points out of the last playoff spot with almost 20 games left, and we still have Sundin, Tucker, Tomas Kaberle, McCabe, and others who comes back with a healthy body, why do we have to be a seller and shipped away Gill and Kilger?
Let's look at Washington, who is only one point in front of our Leafs, see what have they done on the very same day? Adding Cristobal Huet, Sergei Fedorov, Matt Cooke and Alex Giroux almost without giving up anything, but some fourth-liners and a 2009 2nd-round draft pick.
Gill, we still have a year on him, and Kilger, who has the most improvement among all leafs in the past few years, should be something we need for the playoff run. Although we are getting some 2nd/3rd rounders coming up, but are we really ok to just looking into futre?
Are we already giving up our hopes or Cliff, you believe that we already have enough to go for a last run for the playoff...? Although I do not like the deals you have make before, but i still have hope that you know what is the best for the team. Cliff, hopefully you are making the right choice. Btw, Wade, welcome back next year...!
GO LEAFS GO...!!!
