Dunno, I've always thought he was a better offensive player than he's been given credit for...

Maybe doesn't get the goals, but moves the puck around pretty well....

But you guys are right, they need more muscle...

Leafs slash ticket pricesBut going to a game still won't be cheap

TORONTO (CP) — In the wake of the NHL lockout, the Toronto Maple Leafs have cut ticket prices by five per cent.

Seats will range from $35 (down from $37 in 2003-04) in the upper purple section to $173 (down from $182) in the lower gold and platinum sections. The team says the season ticket prices, the lowest since 2002, will run through the 2006-07 season.

“Under the new collective bargaining agreement we have lower player costs, however we’ll be incurring significant expenses that are new to us, totalling tens of millions of dollars,” Tom Anselmi, executive vice-president and chief operating officer for Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, said in a statement Friday.

“That said, we feel we can put in place a five per cent across-the-board ticket price decrease while remaining revenue-neutral in the short term.

The Leafs, always a tough ticket in Toronto, did not explain the “significant expenses” in their release. The team says more than 43 per cent of the seats at Air Canada Centre will now be priced at $68 or less, and 14 per cent will be capped at $35 for regular season games.

I'm curiuos about that second pick, and of course who the Leafs get.
