But bonuses... Lou doesn't do bonueses and he's going to (frank) it up.


Hope there are no hard feelings. to media is something special. If you don't have a story, make one up.


Anyone else think the leafs waited for a moronic story like this to surface and then sign him the next day.

Where's that guy that said max bonuses shouldn't be....

to Daigle's defense... 153pts or whatever in his draft year made him get the highest entry level possible.. but unfortunately, you have no way in knowing if that player will be a bust or not!...

thankfully, there's only a very smaller % chance of "winning a Daigle" for 1st pick!..

Also, people need to stop trotting out that one single first overall horror story every year. The other side of that coin is that 95% of these guys are can't-miss.

Anyone have a link to that graphic showing the dates other 1st overall picks have signed on?

I put McGran on blast on twitter. He obviously ignored it because TO media is a bunch of snakey shrews

(frank), I forgot about that guy. I think my point is still valid though. Over the past 30 years there's been a very small handful of guys you'd consider a bust. Daigle is too much of an anomaly to be a cautionary tale.

99 was one of the worst drafts ever

I wonder how long it will take the media to realize that everyone knows they are just making crap like this up. Anyone who believes stories like this should just ask themselves one question:

What, since the current regime took over, has been leaked to the media?

This management group gives away NOTHING. Any information you get about this team, either comes directly from the Leafs, or it is pure speculation. Period.
