McCabe Follow-up (worst kept trade in hockey)

So now that Brain McCabe (B-Mc) has been officially traded to Panthers with a fourth rounder for Van Ryn we can revisit the topic of this selfish clown one last time. You know you are an ass when people assess the winner of a trade based on who got rid of the best player. When people starting looking at things from that point of view you know the guy must have been a real piece of work. Not to mention it has also come out that B-Mc had a choice of the Panthers, or the Rangers. So not only does he not care about the fans in TO, but he clearly never, and I mean never wants to play on a winner.

Just so we have this clear….he didn’t waive his NTC last year to a contender only to orchestrate a trade to one of the worst teams in hockey. B-Mc is a loser, and Leafs fans are better off with this guy playing in FLA. They got a decent player back that has a little character, and they got rid of a guy that just doesn’t care.

Look at the return that Buffalo got at the deadline for Campbell (I’m not comparing the two), but you have to think that McCabe in that trade environment would have at least fetched a prospect with NHL experience (i.e. Bernier for McCabe). Campbell is a much better player, and thus is worthy of a top prospect, and a 1st rounder. Look at what the Leaf’s return, and they had to toss in a 4th rounder, which based on how they finish could be a top 100 pick.

When you start looking at how this whole thing with B-Mc played out, and the fact he snubbed the fans. It is only fitting that he goes to a place that the fans will care as little about him as he does about them.
