Remember, Canadian teams are at a disadvantage because the money they generate will always be less because of population and that fact that our dollar is lower than the American. They have to watch how much they spend. They also want youth. It will take a few years, but White, Wellwood, and Stajan could develop nicely. Aubin and Pogge will be able to stay for a while, too.
If Toronto's past track record is any indication you can be sure that Aubin will be gone and they pick up another Lindros. Oh you Leafs fans just don't get it do you?
EDIT: Lindros was a cheap bargin for some potential skill. A bit of risk, but what else could they do?

Originally posted by Great Big SteesThe cap limits teams from stacking. But it is still in American dollars and higher than what Canadian teams have. I admit that Toronto has made some bad trades, but I will still stand by them. Besides, why spend 3 million dollars to get players when you are already probably going to miss the playoffs, and end up having too many when all the injuries return. As for the duds, I don't recall them trading any good, young players fro long time. They keep their drafts and trade the 30+ year olds. I think . . . .

Originally posted by Whats goin on ehYou may be right there and I applaud your dogged defense of the Leafs but don't you get just a bit frustrated at their lack of foresight.In a time when the Rangers and Detroit where spending (because like the Leafs) they could afford to "buy" a contender that the Leafs didn't do so? Now having said that as I've said before that Leaf fans really don't seem to give a damn (really) how the team does because they keep showing up in droves even when they are terrible.In Montral if the Canadiens are having a loosing season they just stop coming out.Now that may not be "sporting" of them but it sure sends a meaage to the owners that in order to get us back you'd better do something about our team. Maybe it's the old Toronro VS Montreal mentality but Torontonians just don't seem to have that "Je ne sais pas quoi"....Spark.
