stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted January 19, 2011 From PuckDaddy: A thing I figured out about how bad Brett Lebda is: I think even more telling is that he doesn't have a SINGLE + game posted all season... best is a 0 and worst is a -3 http://tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/gamelog/?id=2855 22GP 0G 1A +/- -19 What a signing!

P. Marlowe 748 Report post Posted January 19, 2011 Poor Lebda. I feel bad for him. It's not his fault that he's not good enough for NHL. I wish he didn't have that big a contract so Leafs could trade him somewhere with less mean fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted January 19, 2011 The finger pointing for why the Leafs suck is at Brett Lebda??? Wow...just....wow. I mean, bad signing and all but is he even on the ice enough to affect that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted January 19, 2011 Who on Earth was that? I don't think anybody thought that. I guess it was hoped he'd provide 3rd pairing depth and would eat up some powerplay time. It might have been Eklund. Emphasis on the 'idiot' part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could be wrong but I seem to remember Burke saying something about Lebda proving everyone wrong and becoming a top 3 D-man on the Leafs. Something about unshackling him from Detroit's system will unleash him on the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, bad signing and all but is he even on the ice enough to affect that? Was/Is Jeff Finger? Kyle Wellwood? Toronto needs their lower-tiered scapegoats as much as they need to bash their superstars. but yes, Yes. It's true the numbers don't lie. It's all Brett Lebda's fault. Really, I just think it's hilarious that he was signed to such a ridiculous contract, that he has obviously not lived up to the level of play that his contract number might suggest -- could he have possibly?? Most of all, it's hilarious that the bashing of Brett Lebda has leapt from the boards of LGW to national media levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 Most of those guys were old and past their primes. Also, it seems like a million years ago when those guys were Leafs. Point is, none of them were younger players that the Leafs developed and were able to keep. Kaberle is overrated, so I wouldn't exactly consider him a great accomplishment for the Leafs. Hmm... Sundin became a Leaf at 23. Potvin was drafted by the Leafs. So was Mironov. Kaberle too. And Modin. Kubina signed with the Leafs at 29, in his prime when he was one of the better defensemen in the league. Allison and Nolan both joined the Leafs at 30, Yushkevich at 24, and Sullivan at 21. Of note; Mironov was traded to Pittsburgh for Larry Murphy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
