Totally agree with your first paragraph.
All were shameful signings. Disgusting moves by Sinden. Leetch came with Zhamnov when all the good FA's snubbed us.
And Boston fans should of and sort of did riot at the Coffey and Lapointe signings Sinden was a real piece of work and spat on us with those moves. Inking a washed up Coffey after Ray left was an insult. And what that ******* did to a deceased Clapper trying to give Lapointe his number makes me hate him to this day. Mother****er trying to give Clappers number to that bum when he was way past his best. Orr and the fans had to cause a huge stink to keep that POS from wearing Clappers retired number Sinden told him he could wear it which that dbag demanded when we signed him.
If we had all those guys to pick from I have to think ol Dit would have stayed at forward though where he was a perennial All Star first half of his career and never even thought about moving back to the blueline
. We'd probably have an amazing second line that was also the best defensive line in the game something like Clapper-Bergeron-Sanderson.
