I just want to respond to this because "well, the other teams..........." is often trotted out as an explanation. Just because the Leafs were also idiots does not justify our idiocy. Let them have Hamonic. Instead, we are the idiots who actually paid a ridiculous price for a mediocre player. Really, objectively, a lot of hockey executives are morons; I would like to see us buck that trend and hire somebody outstanding, instead of trying to trump their morons with our morons. The typical profile I am thinking of is Colin Campbell - man, there are a lot of people in hockey at that level...
