Brashear is useful from time to time. Not on the scorebaord though. He had 9 points last year. Surprised Can't really put him on the ice much. If Lindors is healthy, he could contribute quite a bit. But, you know how that story goes. If.

I don't know. I didn't see any games last year. To me, Lindros just seems like yesterday's news. Brashear's style is probably not going to be a good fit in the current league.

A lot of pressure on Ferguson to spend wisely and get the Leafs into the playoffs. He probably didn't think Lindros was worth the risk.

Dumping Domi was the smartest move the Leafs have made in a decade!

Actually Brashear is capable of playing a regular shift on the third line. He can hit, fight and score the occasional goal that involves a little bit of skill.
He also won the Fastest skater competition when he was with Vancouver. He beat out players like Alexander Mogilny and Markus Naslund I believe.
He is one of the few "goons" that can actaully play in the new league. Federuk of the Ducks being another I can think of off the top of my head. The Ducks look good this year. Never mind the Stars. Wink

Agreed. But it only came 5 years too late

Although dumping Domi was indeed a step in the right direction. The best move they have made in the last decade was firing

PAT QUINN

Notice that every single other team has neglected to hire this chump who couldn't motivate Dolly Parton or Pamela Anderson to have another boob job.

Lindros is an overpaid, concussion prone, prima donna that is locker room cancer. Brashear is a much better deal. That's all.
Plus I don't like Dallas and I thought I'd see if there were any other Caps fans out there. Wink

Perfectly put, Guri Guy. Lindros is damaged goods and he is a prima donna. I'm a Leaf fan and it killed me when they signed him. Personally, I thought he was overrated before he has all these concussions.

Worth a shot for under a million I figure, but I bet he doesn't play half a season. I won a over/under bet on Lindros last season against a Leafs super fan I work with--I had 45 and under...took home 200,000 after less than half a season...any takers this year?
