My Take On The Leafs (Giant Bomb edition) Off-Season part 1

For my friends at Gamespot you know the drill, for people that have yet to read my blogs on the leafs what it basically is, is this hardcore leafs fans blog (me) and I moan about what's going wrong in leafs land and what I think is needed to improve the team. So far in the off season the leafs have done as follows:

Traded an 08/09 3rd Round Draft pick to the St. Louis Blues for Jamul Mayers (not bad he's basically a Chad Kilger type player)
Traded our 07/08 1st round draft pick and 2 conditional picks to the NY Islanders for Luke Schenn (not bad either but only time will tell if Schenn will be more then a defensive defenceman that throws the body around [think a Scott Stevens type player]
Signed Nikolas Hagman [Hagman is like a Darcy Tucker type player but more skilled, basically a third liner boardering on second liner really]
Signed Jeff Finger...[Finger SUCKS! I mean that HE REALLY SUCKS! Seriously Cliff Fleature did you let John Furguson Jr into your office for a day to call the shots?]
Released Kyle Wellwood to waivers [claimed by the Vancouver Canucks] (good move here! though I'd have waited till July 1st to see if we got a RFA offer-sheet, then we'd atleast have gotten draft picks as compensation)
Bought out Darcy Tucker [Ok move I guess, but he counts as 1 mil for 6 years against the cap]
Bought out Andrew Raycroft [A good move, and a bad move in a way, it basically implies we gave up on Tukka Rask (we traded Rask for raycroft) for basically nothing]
Traded a 5th round pick in 08/09 for Ryan Hollweg [eh...basically just your typical goon...]

Overall the leafs have done OK in the off-season, but the leafs still get an F in my grading system, but hey we might get another draft pick actually worth something!
