McCabe will cost Leafs draft pick
Getting rid of Bryan McCabe apparently will cost the Maple Leafs a draft pick as well, TSN reported last night. The deal between the Leafs and the Florida Panthers, which is expected to be made official at 11 am this morning, will bring defenceman Mike Van Ryn to Toronto. The framework of the trade was worked out last month but the transaction was delayed until McCabe received a $2 million US bonus due Sept 1. The Leafs wooed Van Ryn back in 2000 when he first turned professional, but the London native opted to sign with the St. Louis Blues.

Probably be a second or third round pick. Good luck to McCabe. Get ready Van Rynit's going to be a long season.

McCabe AND a draft pick AND $2 mill bonus money for Van Ryn? The Leafs must really be desperate to get rid of this guy! But then, with the contract attached to his name, they're lucky they found someone willing to do a deal with.

So it's decided then. I'm certainly glad something is...
McCabe needed a change of scenery and the Leafs have improved defensively and in the pocket book.

getting McCabe out ot Toronto was a must. That was a distraction that the clubhouse is better without. I think Van Ryn makes the D stronger in Toronto and I may be nuts (usually thought so by bgm) but I think the Leafs have a chance at making the playoffs...thing is it may be next year

If he wasn't enjoying Toronto, what fun does he think he's going to have playing for this team that may be even worse?

Good, they actually moved him, knock on wood. Atleast Leaf fans no longer have to worry about McCabe's boneheaded passes or watching him try that scissor-hip check thing of his a catch nothing but boards and air. Playoffs are a possibility but we still need more offense.
Welcome back, Spiny.

Sounds cheap to me. Always a good thing to get rid of anchors.

That would make sense. Where is Kilger now?

The Leafs' chances at the play-offs have gone from nil, to the next thing to nil. Getting rid of McCabe is huge for Toronto. They'll be a more defensive club with McCabe gone now.
The Leafs will make the play-offs!

Did the bet say anything about what you are not allowed to say after the bet is over?

Its over in about 13 more days. I also lost the bet/TD challenge to Baun-ded. Who else is a Leaf fan,right?
Pete has also got to get some new avatars. Yao looks like he's being violated.
