Even if they did trade him they would still have to pay large portion of his salary....he kinda like their version of Ryan Howard
- nonpoint22


Yeah, I think they may have a had a deal in place last year with the Leafs.. but the Leafs wanted them to pay salary and they said no.. that may have been their best chance to get assets.

Mr. Snyder put his stamp on the ridiculous deal so it's only right that he should be the one who pays for his mistake.

As long as it's freed up cap money, I couldn't care less if they had to pay Breeze until 2525. So, we'll have to foot another buck for nachos and a beverage at the WFC. I never touch the swill there anyway.

I know what you mean.. it's not my money so I could not care less.. What does bother me is wondering what the plan is and it makes me nervous doing massive overhauls every 3 years and botching the tenders so bad with Bob and Bryz. I want to see a cup before I am dead, and it seems we are further away than ever..

Yup, I went from liking to Thomas to him being a monstrous douche practically overnight. It's a low tolerance for extremists.

Mixing hockey talk with politics is awful.
