So on the first day of free agency we get CuJo, Finger and Hagman. Can't say I'm happy at all with these signings. Finger and Hagman seem way too overpaid and I think Pogge should have a shot at being the backup goalie next season.

Don't really know what Cliff is thinking here. Even if he is banking on Finger and Hagman picking up their game in the next couple years, was it necessary to sign them to such large contracts at the moment? I think it's safe to say no other teams offered these guys nearly as much as they're going to get from the Leafs. The only silver lining I can see out of this is everytime Jeff Finger lays a hit on anybody, all the fans at the ACC can shout out "YOU JUST GOT FINGERED!"

CuJo, although I don't agree with the move, is more understandable. He was had for quite cheap and will definitely be a solid backup. This way Pogge gets regular with the Marlies and is possibly called up and gets a shot at the big league if Toskala or CuJo get injured.
