Oh, yes, they do! How can they pass up on someone like Dug Gilmore? This guy breathes and bleeds hockey! They have to have room! Just get rid of "his ineptnes" Rick Pidde and put Gilmore in his place! Even a blind mouse would do better than that clown!

Pretty sad that with all the dough floating around the ACC they cant find a spot for Dougie. Hes prolly better off anyways...run Doug run...

Yeah, you're right, PG!

What?! The Leafs giving the middle finger to one of their own? To one of their greatest ever even? I've never heard anything like that ever! Oh my, what has gotten into the world.

There is always room for Gilmour.

Gilmore is my hero, Toronto better not take him down with them..

Killer should go earn his stripes under Keenan in Calgary. That's where he won his Cup.

He should consider it a blessing Torana didn't want him.

We in Phoenix would be glad to have him alongside Gretz to teach those young kids WHEN do use their fists instead of all the time.

They should have found room for him, even if only for PR reasons. The fans (well, the informed fans) know that Toronto is entering a rebuilding phase anyway so it's not like the next two years are make-or-break years for them.
The rebuilding phase would be a good place for Gilmour - he'd learn under tough conditions, and he could mentor young players.
There's probably a lot more to the story than T&R really knows.

This Guy has way to many babysitters to have sex with to be working all the time !

I remember when the Leafs traded for Gilmour and his very 1st shift in Toronto he got injured for the season on an innocent hit. Hhahahahah. One shift he lasted. Hhahahahahahahha. Good gamble by Quinn. LOL.

His last shift in the NHL and he was crumpled on the ice. Hhahahhaha. Not to sound so mean,but it was actually pretty funny.

Even funnier...Toronto released a DVD series about Gilmour the year he carried them to the...semi-finals.
In Toronto, they worshipped Gilmour like a God. The media was all over his jock "...He lost 15 pounds of sweat in the first period!...He's from another planet!!...blah...blah...blah..."
Name a team othe than the Leafs (in any sport!) that releases a commemorative DVD series about a playoff year where they DONT win.

As a leafs fan, i fell you DC. its to bad peddie is like the president of the ownership of the leafs(or something high with MLSE) LOL.

Oh, and i hate how he wanders around like he is the best thing in the organization and knows the right answer to every question asked. He is the master of OPINIONS and NO ACTION.

Sounds like someone got kicked to the curb......

HE was a tremendous player, no doubt. I just don't know about his office politics. He needs more experience before being considered for any real coaching job.
Toronto has so many front office guys it ain't even funny. Peddie is an idiot but, if he surrounds himself with good people, nobody will notice. This is how many offices work, the main guy is a moron but, he has good people working for him.

Insulting. He was one of the best Leafs' leaders & lead their charge in the early 90's. And they thank him by slapping him in the face. Say what you want about the Flyers organization, they do take care of their alumni. They "create positions" if they have to.
