Not a bad deal they got on him, hopefully they can get McCabe to sign for not much more

Oh goody, now Toronto can look forward to another 5 years of soft play, stupid no-look passes and lazy penalties.

Actually its a decent signing, he is very good offensively especially on the power play and makes a great first pass, but definitely could use a bigger set of boys in his own end...

Can the Leafs afford to sign McCabe signs for about the same amount? They will combine for about 1/4 of the cap room. Throw in Sundin's ~$7mil salary, and the three of them will take up close to 45% of the $39mil cap.

The Cap will most likely be between 42-45 Mil next year.

They are losing a fair chunk of dead weight in the offseason, so they can afford to have McCabe, Kaberle and Sundin. Mats' cap hit is $6.3, but it wouldn't shock me to see McCabe.

Kaberle's underrated in his own zone, he does have trouble with big forwards down low, but overall he's our best D-man in his own end.

Plus, a lot of the young guys are cheap

There 5th and 6 d-man make roughly $2.5 million (Berg & Khavanov). Next year Cola, Kronwall and possibly Pilar and Harrison will be on the blueline. The 4 guys I mentioned combined salaries is about even to Khavanov and Bergs.

Berg and Kavahnov should be leaving after this season anyways, along with Klee. The Leafs have alot of young defencemen ready to steap in including my buddies Jay Harrison and Ian White.

With Klee I can see him being next year, from what I've seen of Khavonov I've liked and Berg should of been gone long ago but your forgetting Quinn's huge man crush on him so I wouldn't expect to see him be going.

[Eazy_b97 1]

Kronwall and Colaiacovo are basically gauranteed spots for next year and the will need to upgrade. I can't see Klee coming back, possibly Berg, but even then it may be a stretch. Quinn will be on the hot seat after the olympic break as well.

If Canada doesn't win Gold, I could see Quinn getting fired...but seriously, do you really see the Leafs firing the guy if he brings a second straight Gold Medal to Canada.

I know one isn't really related to the other...but...still.

I do, I think this olympic break will really only delay this. Alot of the "bad" signings were his favourites. Belak, Berg, Belfour, even Domi, but he's more of a Peddie guy from what I've heard. I really think the team wants to move on and they gave him those core as a last chance. It's not an allstar team, but they have alot of skill and the parts he wanted.
