He ain't a bad goalie but not someone I'd pin my hopes on for a cup. I'd agree with Black Dog, that there are bigger issues on the team that the Leafs should deal with first. Get some new talent up front and if you can add a decent goalie for a good price then go for it but I'd worry about scoring first.Yodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11534106045598804424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17198213.post-1143566170466896082006-03-28T12:16:00.000-05:002006-03-28T12:16:00.000-05:00Paul, I have to say the answer is a) - I am an Oil...Paul, I have to say the answer is a) - I am an Oilers' fan (how did I end up here?) but follow the Leafs pretty closely. You can make the argument that this team still has a chance to make the playoffs, sure, but at this point I think objectively speaking, they are done.<BR/><BR/>In any case injuries are making the Leafs' choice pretty simple.

I'm no fan of the Leafs, if I were JFJ's replacement I would go with Aubin and Tellquist next year, absolutely. Here's the deal. This team has way too many holes, way too many. It is highly unlikely that next year will be a success in any way. So, bring in Maurice. Bring in all of the kids that you can, including Aubin and Tellquist.
