I don't see how having Don Cherry on American TV can be a bad thing.
Also, I am tired of this whole GM thing with Toronto already. I bet in most other markets the search for a general manager wouldn't be talked about daily on TV, radio and in the papers. It's annoying.
Also, Jason Blake is open to the idea of being traded. He doesn't have a no trade clause, but he said he wouldn't be mad or angry if moved. For some reason, I think that if we trade him he is going to go and get 35 goals and we are going to wish we hadn't moved him. He was 5th in the league in shots, and on his career has roughly a 10% shooting percentage. That suggests to me that last season was a down year more then anything.
