Toskala seems like an obvious one, and Mike Komisarek is dreadful and has an awful contract. I'd add him as well. My mind is at a blank when thinking about forwards, partially because I don't care to remember much of them.Adamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-67413752896148074072010-03-22T17:31:43.438-04:002010-03-22T17:31:43.438-04:00@Dan...

It goes up there with some of my other excellent analysis, such as suggesting during the first month of the 2008/09 season that the Leafs needed to trade Ian White for a fourth or fifth round pick because his value would only keep dropping.<br /><br />Fifth round pick, Dion Phaneuf... pretty much the same thing.Down Goes Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150805735008417848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-33778558092278004582010-03-22T17:27:27.613-04:002010-03-22T17:27:27.613-04:00"Let's save space and just like all the g..."Let's save space and just like all the good things Ferguson did... managed not to get completely bent over on the Vesa Toskala trade.
