cr00d 26 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Glad we signed Stuart when we did. Talk about over-paying for a player. This will surely inflate the asking price for other defensemen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Per TSN's UFA signings tracker. Of note is that Cujo's officially listed on there as well for Toronto (1 year, $700K). I'm not familiar with Finger, but I figured with the money he's getting paid, he must be someone...right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StevieY9802 6 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Wow. Thats a lot of money. And why did the Leafs do this? You are supposed to help fix the cap problems they had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dump-N-Thump Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Holy Crap. Finger is a solid d-man, but 3.5m solid? wdf.. And they were complaining about McCabes contract.. Wdf.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Wow. Just wow. How freaking retarded are the leafs on this one. No way to cut it. This deal is just plain bad. Stuart at 3.75M looks like highway robbery now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deker 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Good to see that Leaf management hasn't run out of boneheaded personnel moves yet. Though I'm sure any Toronto fan will try to convince you that this is the second coming of Tim Horton... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though I'm sure any Toronto fan will try to convince you that this is the second coming of Tim Horton... As long as he doesn't open up a chain of donut/coffee shops around North America. Then again, Finger Holes sounds pretty funny, more so than TimBits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Who the hell is Jeff Finger?? I know my players pretty well and I can honestly say I've never heard of the guy. Is this an alias of someone who actually is a good player? A journeyman player for the Avs last season. He did play in two of the Wings-Avs PO games -unnoticebable like all of their Dmen in that series. The fact that he couldn't crack their pathetic defensive core lineup consistently doesn't speak 3.5 mill if you ask me - wtf? This is akin to us giving Lebda 3.5 mill. The best thing he's got going for him is he's a native of Houghton, MI. This is why the Leafs organization sucks....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
