Eklund: Shanahan expected to sign 2 years/9.8 Million

[Barrie 900]

P.S. I don't live in Toronto - is it true that FAN590 claims that Toronto is going to sign every free agent - especially guys originally from Toronto - every year?

Yeah most pro-Toronto DJ's think everyone who grew up in Ontario wants to play for the Leafs before they retire. They we talking about getting Elias, Luongo, Redden, Chara, Pronger, etc.. And that's after signing Kaberle and McCabe.

Not everyone there is pro-Toronto though, which gives it a good mix. Mike Hogan who does the 10:00-1:00 show, is a Whalers/Hurricanes, Eagles, and Dodgers fan. He's cool... Bob Macoun, 4:00-7:00, is American, he brings fans around here back down to earth. Actually whimpy Toronto fans complain about Bob all the time... One of the Producers of the 1:00-4:00 show is a Red Wings fan.

Mike Wilner, the color guy for the Blue Jay games is the worst. He's a huge Jays "homer"! Last week he said the Tigers aren't for real and said the Jays were still in the race for the Wild Card, they're 10+ games out! Also he said Smoltz is a perfect fit for Toronto. Smoltz will never go to the Jays!
