Notes By Brooks

from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,

- You know who the Maple Leafs are? They’re the equivalent of the 1993 Mets, a big market team filled with out of place and small-minded personalities doomed to failure and ridicule.

All that’s missing are the bleach, the firecrackers and Phil Kessel offering to wipe the smiles off a reporter’s face by showing him Etobicoke.

- From Page Six: Which veteran traded at (or just prior to) the deadline was moved because of an off-ice issue rather than his contract, free-agent status or play?

- Not quite seeing Cody Franson as the missing piece in Nashville any more than I’m seeing Braydon Coburn as the missing piece in Tampa Bay.

- So two injured players who won’t get on the ice this year (Gudas and Evander Kane) and another incapacitated athlete who isn’t expected to ever get back on the ice (Nathan Horton) were traded within the last few weeks, and the odd thing is the acquiring teams in all three cases appear to have come out ahead.
