What is going on in Calgary? Why the sudden love affair with all the Toronto Leafs Castoffs? The fact that the Flames decided to cut-bait with Dion Phaneuf was questionable enough, but now, after bringing in former Maple Leafs goaltender (and an underachieving one at that) Vesa Toskala at the deadline, I have to question Sutter and Co.
Nik Hagman is a decent player, Ian White can play the game and Matt Stajan is a good guy to have in the locker room, but none of these players ever had me thinking “championship” in Toronto and I don’t think for a minute any of them will bring a championship to Calgary either.
Two words Calgary fans, “good luck”....
I have already chimed in on whether or not teams should be able to trade for cap space (dollars) at the deadline, I am down with it, completely. Not onside yet? Imagine the deals that might have been pulled off yesterday instead of the “crap” we witnessed on Tuesday—it’s time the NHL considered this, it’s needed.
