Shanny is spewing bull#### faster than a water hose.

While I agree Shanahan is being dumb, it was different before the cap era.  
Some players did sign in Detroit for relative discounts even after the cap era, but it was mostly because they already had a reputation for being team likely to win a championship.  The Leafs have a ways to go still to deserve that reputation.
