sucks to see two former leafs, tucker and wellwood, without jobs in the nhl. I don't like seeing veteran players squeezed out of jobs in the nhl simply because of the way the CBA is structured. the cap era has only made the nhl more cold and calculated. most players seem more like disposable assets with an even shorter shelf life. a player in his early 30's, usually in the prime of his career, doesn't to hold the same high value he once did. i know, financially, the no-cap era wasn't working for a lot of american/small market teams but i really miss it more than ever. that and the apparent pussification of the nhl for the american market has me really missing the mid 80's to mid 90's hockey i grew up watching.
