Shh. Let the Sens fans have their fantasies.
The Leafs found quite the gem in MacArthur back in 2009. A player who had been cast off from the Sabres, who signed for cheap, and then proceeded to put up some great numbers beside Grabovski and Kulemin. But all the while, he is still the same type of player. A player who is incredibly streaky, who puts up points in bunches, and then looks like he's floating for weeks on end. That doesn't make him a bad player. He's always been a lower end Top 6 winger/high end tweener, despite the fact opposing fans long tried to portray him as nothing but a streaky third liner. The Leafs signed just a player, though, in Raymond for a third of the cost, who puts up near identical production for a third of the cost. I wanted MacArthur back, but not at the cap hit he signed for. Not that he wasn't worth it, just didn't fit in the team as currently constructed. Don't regret letting him go one bit, unfortunate though that he headed off to such a sad franchise in Ottawa. I even wish him well, the guy was always top notch here in Toronto.
