The 20 most overpaid NHLers making more than $4.0M per year: Gomez makes the list!

More than one quarter into the 2011-12 NHL season, it’s time to have a look at the most overpaid NHLers who don’t contribute as much as their team and the general manger who signed them would like.

Mike Augello: WITH FINGER WAIVED, IS A MOVE AFOOT??

The Maple Leafs finally did yesterday what most keen observers thought was a no-brainer, putting defenseman Jeff Finger on waivers. Unless some NHL general manager has mistakenly taken a dosage of hallucinogens or taken leave of his senses, Finger will clear waivers at Noon today and report to the AHL Marlies.

Finger Gets Cut

He Sure Does!Mark today on your calendar boys and girls, October 12, 2010 is the day the Leafs roster became $3,500,000 lighter. While this probably should have happened at this time last season, it serves the same benefits as it would have then, and we have the added bonus of a deeper defensive unit and a buried Finger this season means Lebda, Richmond and Lashoff getting ice time...

Jeff Finger Signing Never Made Sense

Jeff Finger has been placed on waivers by the Toronto Maple Leafs. When he clears waivers, he'll be sent down to the Marlies and Brian Burke will get $3.5 million of cap room back. One of the cool things about maintaining this blog for the past 8 years is that I can go back in time and read what I thought about events as they unfolded. For example, on July 1, 2008, I wrote...

Could Leafs Move Jeff Finger In a Package?

Jeff Finger has become a pariah in Toronto, as Brian Burke continues to sign defensemen on to the club while not trading any away. He takes a lot of heat for the fact that he has a bloated contract while being a completely serviceable defender, and a consummate professional while spending much of the season in the press-box due to an overcrowded blue line. The situation is clearly...
