Yea he's so important the leafs made him a healthy scratch in the playoffs and decided to let him walk in free agency. Such an important piece. Real Championship material.
Buddy do yourself a favor and stop making it sound like he just signed Mark Messier. He didnt. Snap out of it.
1. leafs scratching him in playoffs doesn't prove your point that you claim, which is that he is useless. Again shortsighted on your part. He could have had a minor injury or something. Assuming makes you look like an ass.
2. Leafs got eliminated in the first round, which means that whatever babcock did, didn't work, did it?
3. I never said we got a mark m guy. I said, that the intangibles he brings are necessary to win championships. People like you think that the only thing that matters is points.
4. You do not know that the leafs let him walk in free agency. The only thing we know is that he signed with us. Maybe in order to get the guy LL knew we needed here, he had to outbid the Leafs, probably the reason it was 4 years instead of 2. None of this proves the leafs thought he was useless.
5. A good example of intangibles being important is Matt Martin. He is not a big scorer, but the Isles didnt make the playoffs in the 2 seasons he wasn't here. The atmosphere, the confidence, the guts, the intangibles are the things we were missing. Also we were missing defensive forwards. LL goes out and gets the type of players that we exactly needed, and short sighted disrespectful people like you bash him. He just filled the team with exactly the tpye of players we need, to the best of his ability, and you bash him? Thats stupid.
