I question it as well. Its not like it is a move that will guarantee a playoff birth. |

i actually agree with JFJ here, perrault has a few good years left in him, and he can carry us further into the playoffs this year. Also, we didn't give up that much, we have alot of young defensemen, bell was one of the weaker ones as far as I'm concerned. And a second round pick isn't that much in exchange for a superstar.

Wow, that's a bit of an exageration isn't it? Yanic Perreault a superstar? A great faceoff man and a good player sure, but he's miles from being a superstar. Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemeiux, Bobby Orr, those are superstars, not Yanic Perreault.
What I think about this is how it illustrates the lack of foresight and total lack of any sort of plan from JFJ. A few months ago they could have had Perreault for absolutely nothing as he was looking to sign anywhere. When he would have cost them nothing Ferguson wasn't interested. Now suddenly when the price is a decent young defenseman and a 2nd round pick, he's all over it. That's some shrewd managing. If this guy keeps his job past this year, I'm taking applications for a new favorite team. |

| Yes you did say all star. My comment was in response to Patchy's post which stated -"And a second round pick isn't that much in exchange for a superstar" |

| 9684, I can't believe you would still be a Leafs fan. I endured enough of JFJr. so I decided to follow the Sharks (it didn' happen overnight, but that's the nutshell). This trade is classic JFJr. and I honestly can't believe that there would still be educated hockey fans that like the Leafs. Very, very disappointing. |

Are you saying im uneducated Babs?/ :O JKS
i think this was a good deal for the leafs though. They got the best faceoff man in the league and got the depth they need in the center position with Wellwood and Peca uncertain about playing for the rest of the year. Good move JFJ.

thanks you leafsfan, finally someone agrees that, we have many young defensemen, and trading one away isn't the end of the world.
I know JFJ isn't the greatest, i've said it many times. But this was the right move.

| I believe that some players perform better in certain cities. I believe Perreault was made to play in Toronto. |

I don't have a problem with Perreault. He's a good solid player and I've always liked him. What I find unbelievable in this is that JFJ passed on him when he was available for nothing, only to give up a second round pick and a prospect for the same player a couple of months later. There's no way anyone can convince me that's a smart move on Ferguson's part. The second round pick he wasted by not signing Perreault earlier could possibly have been used to get Martin Biron (that's what Philly gave up I believe), a goalie who may be able to stop more than 7 of 11 shots over two periods.

I dont mind Perrault at all, he would be a good addition to many teams.
That being said, Ferguson is still a knob. He gave away a promising young player and a draft pick for a guy that was dumped by Nashville last year and anybody could have signed as a free agent, but chose not to. |

Toronto is not even likely to make the playoffs. Especially now that the Islanders picked up Smyth. That will make them a tough team to beat down the stretch.
And Perrault is not a bad player at all. But is not a player that can carry a team to the playoffs let alone do deep in the playoffs.
The shining light on this is that Perrault is only at $700k per year. So this should only cost the Leafs about $170k for the rest of the year.
Still don't think is was a smart hockey move. |

I bet you could buy...no no...INVENT....the "Faceoff 3000" for less than 170K and it would do the same things!

Ok here are some other promising young d-men the Leafs have.
Staffan Kronwall
Carlo Colaiacovo
Ian White
Dominic D'Amour
Jay Harrison
Phil Oreskovic (his cousin is in my class)
Maxim Seminov
Dimitrei Vorobiev
Half this list seems promising, so one gone doesn't make much diffrence.

My biggest problem with this thread is the title....."All Star"?
13 years in the league, 5 different teams (2nd stint with the Leafs), 497 pts in 789 GP, career highs of 28G and 57 pts.
Only in T.O. is this guy an All-Star....and that's for the Marlies

| I'm assuming the "All Star" comes from the fact he played in the All Star game this season. |
