    Hey those are two great players who have had all sorts of past regular season and playoff success before they came to Toronto. If the team was in any way decent they'd be MVP candidates! Imagine where the Leafs would be without them! You people just don't understand hockey



    My personal run out of town list looks like this: Dero, the entire teachers pension plan, Colangelo, Vernon Wells, Burke, Bargnani then Wilson. Also I'm warming up a seat for JDG, but he still gets another chance first. And whatever bastard is preventing a Cheesecake factory from opening here. If I ever find out who's responsible for that I'm breaking out the pitchfork

    That's a good list. I'm not sure about Colangelo yet, but probably it's just he still has me fooled.

    Colangelo's on the list. Read this. The MLSE suits love him because he does deals that help them sell tickets in the off season. They don't care that he's managed the cap poorly, that his teams are soft, or that they lose

The only logical reason I can think of for why there isn't one here already is some jerk preventing it somehow. When I find that asshole somebody gonna get a hurt REAL bad. If Dero wants to win me back quick, he should get on that ASAP. Damnit, now I want cheesecake lol.

    No need to convince me. I am a firm believer. Every time I am in the US, the Cheesecake Factory is a must. Have you had the Red Velvet Cake? I'd make love to it if I could.

    Bit harsh, I liked the guy, his contract was stupid but you can hardly blame him for that part

    You can blame him for taking the 3 years after signing that monster contract off though. I know some people who know some people, Vernon... enjoyed his time in Toronto. Last year he performed decently, but even at the 11 million the Jays paid him he was probably at best fairly paid. 22 million for the next 4 years? He'd have to almost double his production to be worth that. I don't care WHAT he does in Anaheim, he won't ever live up to that kind of financial commitment, and the financial and positional flexibility the Jays now have is almost priceless.
