Leafs Give Their Fans The Finger

by Jes

So, I'm on vacation here, checking out the Internets for a few mins whilst sipping a bitter Americano ... mmmm ...

This one signing really caught my eye

The Toronto Maple Leafs jumped into the free agent market on Tuesday, signing defenceman Jeff Finger to a four-year deal worth $3.5 million a season

Jeff Finger for $3.5mil a season??!?!

A guy with less than 100 games NHL experience and one who hasn't proven himself to ever be above-average gets $3.5mil a season?

Wow ...

Apparently, one of the links in my linkroll led to a very nasty site. I've taken the link down, and apologize to all those who were redirected to something their eyes weren't meant to see.

Was it the Leafs homepage?
 
Seriously, I fail to see how overpaying yet another defenceman moves the supposed "Leafs Rebuild" forward. Sure, Finger is decent, but $3.5M per season is too much, and the Leafs have locked him up for 4 seasons at that value, which will make him untradeable at some point... Very strange move...
 
Read on for more Leafs' hilarity:
