Dilemma

Yes, Maple Leafs general manager John Ferguson has himself in a tough situation. After watching last nights game on the Island there is no longer any question. The two worst defensemen on the Leafs are the two highest paid.

Say what you want about Pavel Kubina, he makes some unbelievable mistakes, but on a game-in game-out basis there is nobody worse than Brian McCabe.

It's just another one of those aggravating things about the Leafs. John Ferguson signed these guys to contracts that gobble up close to ten million dollars a year against the salary cap. Just imagine what they could do with that money.

Nobodies going to tell me that Andy Wozneiwski and Brendan Bell couldn't fill the gap and actually lessen the mistakes.

And there's no light at the end of the tunnel. McCabe has a five year deal and Kubina has a four year deal. It's too bad.

The Leafs are in a bad place all over. They're about to overpay for Darcy Tucker to stay. While trading him and his bum foot might get you a second round draft pick. No one will trade for McCabe or Kubina because unlike John Ferguson Jr, most GM's are smart, and they would get nothing by trading the "youth" of the team because they haven't had they chance to show they've got what it takes. Thank McCabe and Kubina for that. Maybe the Leafs could trade the coach. At least he'd be worth something.

For the McCabe signing alone.....Ferguson should be fired. Is he that stupid??

Freddie,

You were wrong about the Leafs being in the playoffs and the Habs out. The way they played against Buffalo tonight (Feb 27th), they'll end up just in front of Philly and way out of the playoffs by the end of the season. The good news is that it will be easy to fire that dope John Ferguson after that.
