my rant wasn't just about former leafs who are out of jobs, it was about all veteran players in the nhl who are out of jobs they would have still had if there was no cap. guys who still produced as much as the rookies but provided much more with their experience in leadership.
edit. a non-biased hockey fan would never have assessed tucker as a shitty player in his prime, he was one of those guys fans of other teams loved to hate but would have loved to have him on their team. he played a hard nose intense game that took a toll on his body and I wish the leafs were closer to being a lock for the playoffs now because they could have used him. wellwood on the otherhand, im not too upset about. but he did leave the leafs on relatively good terms so in a way I would have liked to see things turn out for him.
