Time To Rebuild

This was a big offseason for the Toronto Maple Leafs. This seasons is what they would like to call the begining of the rebuilding process. They got rid of some name guys, like Tucker, and McCabe (tentatively), and they made some acquisitions. They picked up the kinda guy they need, not as much the skilled guys, but more the guys who can mix it up a little. Guys who can play a little more of a physical role, but still score goals. The acquisition of forward Nicklas Hagman, and Defenseman Jeff Finger will add some depth to both offense and defence for the Leafs. Hagman is a gritty forward who scored closed to twenty goals last season. Jeff Finger is a great stay at home defenseman, who will be a great compliment to all the offense provided by defenseman like Tomas Kaberle. It`ll be great in helping us, making us not so exposed anymore in the back end.
