Congratulations Paciorrety for winning
the race to IR before Robertson.
I guess I'm not really surprised. Everyone Treliving signed this summer was over the hill and injury prone. That's on top of the injury prone players who were already here.
When you keep adding band-aid boys to the roster you end up with a band-aid boy team.
There was never any doubt the Leafs were would be making use of LTIR. Fans were creating threads about it. So we shouldn't be surprised when players are dropping like flies.
The result of a GM desperate to save on cap costs any way he can.
So he signs washed up vets like Paciorrety, Tanev, and OEL to retirement deals. Throws a bunch of money at the broken and battered body of Joseph Woll. Convinces Robertson there's a spot for him on the team.
All these injured players are the result of a GM who isn't effective at managing risk.
