And that's fine. Because it's sad when nobody responds. And we were more wussy than a vagina last year.

But it doesn't protect the players.

It's best spent by not spending it via free agency. So far they seem to be going that route.

It's been proven repeatedly that having tough guys doesn't stop stupidity. All they can do is respond in kind after the fact.

He's not there to fight anyways, he's a good fore checker - won't hurt our 3rd / 4th line.

Crosby wasn't available

You do realize the difference between a question and an answer, right...?

Nobody protects anyone but themselves. But I do want a team that at least responds when a star player is (frank)ed with. But no, a tough guy won't protect players from getting (frank) with. Agree there.

Eriksson, Lucic, Okposo, Ladd, Backes, Nielson.. man those deals are going to look awful quick. So glad the Leafs haven't made a mistake like those yet.

I agree it won't stop things completely, always going to be cheap shots etc. However it can limit it some and when it does happen nice to have some one to make them pay for it.

"As per Bryan Hayes and Ray Ferraro of TSN, the thinking is the blood clot could mean his next contract may not be insurable."


Okay. This is your solid proof?


- lumlums


No, my solid point is talking to Pat Morris who understands the lingo and what's entailed with the contract signed with stampkos. The teams have until August 15th to submit the details to the league from July 1st. The NHL and the leagues insurance arbitrators will then determine what's insurable and what isn't. The entire league was fully aware that the stampkos contract would not be insurable......

How to ease the pain 101. Would you rather have Martin 2.5 or Bozak 4.2??

point I was trying to make is let the experts and pros do their job.

Has to be a reason why Leafs got him.

We don't know (frank) all.

He fights a lot, and is a 4th liner with no pk time.

But Now he's a 3rd liner who's a good pker.

But the only people in the league who do dumb poop now are the ones who lack the capacity for thought, so what difference will it make...?
